As a critical infrastructure component, the railway system is a potential target for cyber attacks. This threat is most relevant to the ongoing digitalization of the railway system, which is progressing rapidly. There are many examples of digitalization projects in Switzerland, including “Smartrail 4.0”, “System integration railway control (SIBS)” and “Evolution of ERTMS Safety Systems (EESA)”. The sources and the communication channels of diagnostic data as well as users of the data on the vehicle and infrastructure side are possible entry points for cyber attacks.
Ensuring personal safety requires compliance with safety requirements of the well-known standards EN 50126, EN 50128, EN 50129, EN 50657 and EN 50159. Cyber security requirements, together with requirements for the development process, are specified in CENELEC’s technical specification TS 50701 and the IEC 62443 series of standards.
