ENISA-ERA Conference: Cybersecurity in Railways

Videos & Presentations

2021 marks the European Year of Rail - the European Commission initiative highlights the benefits of rail as a sustainable, smart and safe means of transport to support the delivery of its European Green Deal objectives in the transport field. Cybersecurity is a key requirement to enable railways to deploy and exploit the full extent of a connected, digital paradigm. 

ENISA, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity, and ERA, the EU Agency for Railways, have joined forces to organise a virtual Conference on Rail Cybersecurity. The conference will bring together experts to discuss the latest cybersecurity developments and challenges that the sector is facing. The aim is to foster the dialogue among railway organisations, policymakers, industry, researchers, and standardization and certification organizations. 

The conference is divided into four sessions, where panelists and attendants will be able to discuss different topics:

• Policy developments
• Standards and certification for the railway sector
• Results from research and innovation
• Ways to share information and how to cooperate towards a more cyber secure railway sector in the EU.

Registrations close on Friday 12 March 2021 at 17:00 (CET)

Organisers

The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity, ENISA, is the Union’s agency dedicated to achieving a high common level of cybersecurity across Europe. Established in 2004 and strengthened by the EU Cybersecurity Act, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity contributes to EU cyber policy, enhances the trustworthiness of ICT products, services and processes with cybersecurity certification schemes, cooperates with Member States and EU bodies, and helps Europe prepare for the cyber challenges of tomorrow. Through knowledge sharing, capacity building and awareness raising, the Agency works together with its key stakeholders to strengthen trust in the connected economy, to boost resilience of the Union’s infrastructure, and, ultimately, to keep Europe’s society and citizens digitally secure.

The European Union Agency for Railways, ERA, aims to contribute to the further development and effective functioning of a Single European Railway Area without frontiers, by guaranteeing a high level of railway safety and interoperability, while improving the competitive position of the railway sector. The Agency acts as the European Authority under the 4th Railway Package issuing vehicle (type) authorisations, single safety certificates and ERTMS trackside pre-approvals. Making the railway system work better for society is the agency’s mission and, as a respected authority, ERA aims to be the engine for change driving the Single European Railway Area.
