Railway cyber-security enhanced by multi-layer approach

Today, no organisation is safe from cyber-attack. Threats to businesses are becoming more complex and evolving rapidly. As railways are becoming increasingly dependent on digitalisation, with Internet Protocol (IP) used for devices like CCTV cameras and mission critical applications for train control systems, they also need to ensure that they are protected by implementing robust cyber-security.
