Summit Overview 💡
Now in its 13th edition, the Rail Cybersecurity Summit 2027 is one of the rail sector’s longest-running forums dedicated to railway cybersecurity, operational resilience, and the protection of rail operational technology (OT) environments. The summit brings together rail operators, infrastructure managers, rolling stock manufacturers, OEMs, technology providers, regulators, and cybersecurity leaders to address the evolving cybersecurity and resilience challenges facing modern railway systems. As rail networks become increasingly connected and dependent on complex supplier ecosystems, railway organisations face growing pressure to strengthen operational resilience, secure operational technology environments, and align with emerging standards, regulatory expectations, and frameworks such as IEC 63452. The event provides a practical, operator-led forum for collaboration and discussion between operators, infrastructure owners, OEMs, suppliers, and government stakeholders working to improve cybersecurity and resilience across the railway sector.

Selecting and Safely Using Collaboration Services for Telework
Selecting and Safely Using Collaboration Services for Telework.
During a global pandemic or other crisis contingency scenarios, many United States Government (USG) personnel must operate from home while continuing to perform critical national functions and support continuity of government services. With limited access to government-furnished equipment (GFE) such as laptops and secure smartphones, the use of (not typically approved) commercial collaboration services on personal devices for limited government official use becomes necessary and unavoidable.
Cyber Senate launches new Directors Clubs post Coronavirus lockdown
Cyber Senate today announced the launch of the Directors Clubs©, that will commence once lockdown has ended and the government give the all-clear for a minimum of twenty people to meet at any one time in the UK, Europe and North America.
Risk Management for Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)
This product is for executives to help them think through physical, supply chain, and cybersecurity issues that may arise from the spread of Novel Coronavirus, or COVID-19. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), COVID-19 has been detected in locations around the world, including multiple areas throughout the U.S. This is a rapidly evolving situation and for more information, visit the CDC’s COVID-19 Situation Summary

“Cyberattack on the nation’s critical infrastructure and economic system would create chaos “
“A major cyberattack on the nation’s critical infrastructure and economic system would create chaos and lasting damage exceeding that wreaked by fires in California, floods in the Midwest, and hurricanes in the Southeast.” As stated in the Chairman’s Opening Letter in a new report from the Cyberspace Solarium Commission. “Our country is at risk, not only from a catastrophic cyberattack but from millions of daily intrusions disrupting everything from financial transactions to the inner workings of our electoral system. Capturing the complexity of this challenge is hard.”
Rail Cyber Security Post Event Report
During February 18th-19th Westlands Advisory attended the Cyber Senate on Rail Industry Cyber Security. The event was attended by executives and management from Train Operating Companies (TOC), Rolling Stock and Signalling Manufacturers, Cyber Security Engineers and Consultants, and Technology vendors. The presentations, panel discussions and debate during networking breaks covered issues ranging from implementation of standards to managing challenges such as third-party risk and developing defence in depth.
Innovation and change are coming to the rail industry. As infrastructure projects approach the end of lifecycles, a new era of rail travel is emerging that will be defined by digital technology, enabling improved services and better experiences. A digital rail network also brings security challenges that need to be addressed to ensure that the rail industry maintains its impressive safety record. Whilst security and safety are not inextricably linked, a security failure may have an adverse effect on rail industry safety, and this has resulted in a considerable amount of work to establish security standards and controls to improve cyber resilience.
