Secure systems for safer transport infrastructure
Cyber security is a key issue for transport infrastructures, which are also targets for cyber criminals. To ensure passenger safety and business continuity, the protection of data and systems is essential and must be taken into account at several stages of the project.
Using advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and 3D modelling, engineers can optimise operations, reduce energy consumption and minimise environmental impact. By collecting and analysing data in real time, they can anticipate breakdowns, optimise maintenance and improve the efficiency of transport systems.

Transport systems are increasingly digitalised and interconnected. In this context, cyber-threats are real, with potentially serious consequences for transport operators and passengers.
Our transport systems cyber security services are available to meet your specific needs, anywhere in the world, and on different transport systems.
Rail transport, which is considered as an essential activity in many countries, requires a high level of security. It is complex because it has to be approached under multiple facets including process, technological and human, and applied to different types of information systems such as telecommunications, control and command, signalling, auxiliary systems, passenger services, and more.
Alongside conventional rail; TGV, metro, tramway networks require specialist and targeted attention to prevent cyber disruption to services.
Governance
Advise on strategy and operational technology best practice, define technical governance specifications to support cyber security compliance across the product/system lifecycle and supply chain risk management, including procurement
Audit
Our assessment methods ensure the processes defined and their application are in line with the requested standards and applicable regulations.
Project support
Implementation of cyber security in the project cycle and the supply chain (Methodological framework, Risk analysis, Cyber requirements definition, Conformity reviews, Assurance and Approval, Technical assistance and Expertise).
Solutions
Advice, analysis, assurance, supply chain management and training. Our approach to cyber security for automated and industrial systems, relies on established standards (IEC 62443, IEC63452/TS50701, NIST, etc.).

Risk Management
Taking advantage of their technical and operational knowledge of rail transport systems, our teams are able to understand and advise transport operators, infrastructure managers and authorities in order to ensure passenger safety, business continuity, protection of sensitive data and compliance with applicable regulations and standards.
Risk analysis and management are the cornerstones of our work with transportation operators and infrastructure managers.
For new projects, SYSTRA assists clients in the approval process for sensitive information systems, considering cyber security from the design phase.
For existing transportation infrastructure, SYSTRA conducts audits of its clients’ industrial systems and provides guidance on implementing security measures to address cyberattacks.
Offers to get you started
SYSTRA is at the forefront of cyber security for may sectors, including rail, as demonstrated by its participation at multiple European and international standardisations groups for software and cyber security (WG28 – EN 50716, WG-26 TS 50701, IEC 63452 and UK railway national standards).
Test our services and choose our flash, fast and cost-effective offers to help you with your cyber security issues.
Audit
Assess the security process readiness to approach and manage your transportation infrastructure and organisation. Recommended before commissioning a new line, transferring operations, or identifying and monitoring vulnerabilities in an existing infrastructure.
Awareness and bespoke training
Inform your employees about the cyber security of IoT systems, and help them develop their skills.
Recommended before starting a project or to implement IoT governance on an existing infrastructure.

I take great pride in leading SYSTRA’s specialist Cyber Security team. The importance and complexity of creating resilient and secure systems is not just a challenge – it is the very reason I am motivated to give my best every day.
Lucia CAPOGNA – SYSTRA Cyber Security and Software Assurance Team Leader
What is SYSTRA’s competitive advantage in cyber security?
SYSTRA’s cyber security teams have experience in the domain of application and relevant regulations across the UK, Ireland and globally. Our tailored solutions allow us to make significant achievements in the cyber security space that comply with industry standards and frameworks.
What has SYSTRA’s contribution been to cyber security?
SYSTRA has contributed to national, European and international standardisation groups. Our teams deeply understand how the industry standards impact on cyber security activities globally. We offer solutions that are time efficient, cost saving and flexible.
What cyber security services does SYSTRA provide?
SYSTRA provides a diversified set of services from policy and strategy definition, planning and process definition and also risk assessment. SYSTRA specialists are able to define and manage the cyber security assurance case to create operational procedure services. This is based around improving knowledge on the client side or the project itself, and offering bespoke training courses.
How does a project run more smoothly if cyber security is planned from the start and executed properly?
Technology and digitization are introduced into every project and every solution we are delivering. If considered from day one of the concept we are able to collaboratively contribute to a solution that is resilient to cyber security risks, as it’s been designed with cyber in mind.
What is the risk of considering cyber security too late in the project?
Failing to properly factor in cyber security can produce additional costs to re-work architecture or design requirements. Additional systems will need to be added to make them more secure, adding cost and less efficiency.
If a design almost complete before cyber security is considered, the solutions can be extremely costly. It’s why SYSTRA encourages knowledge and education within the industry around the importance of incorporating cyber security from day one.
