Security by Design- The New Imperative for Rail Systems
An introduction to the UITP Report & Real-World Applications
November 26, 2025 | 15:00 CET
Join us for an in-depth webinar exploring the UITP “Design for Security of Safety-Critical Systems” report — a groundbreaking framework for integrating cybersecurity into rail Safety Instrumented Systems (SIL 1–SIL 4) across their entire lifecycle. Aligned with the soon-to-be-published IEC 63452 and other key safety standards, this session will provide rail operators, suppliers, and cybersecurity professionals with practical insights on applying security-by-design principles to real-world challenges. Discover how industry leaders are addressing the intersection of safety and cybersecurity, the growing impact of AI-driven threats, and the new engineering principles shaping the future of secure rail systems.
In a webinar, attendees will come away understanding:
Key findings from the UITP report and their impact on rail safety and cybersecurity
Real-world insights from Waterfall Security, MTA and Alstom on implementing recommendations
Open discussion on challenges, solutions, and best practices for embedding cybersecurity in safety-critical systems.
