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. #### Key contacts ![](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2026/06/capogna_lucia.jpg) **Lucia CAPOGNA** Cyber Security and Software Assurance Team Leader > [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucia-capogna/) ![](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2026/02/paul_gottsv2.png) **Paul GOTTS** Technical Safety Discipline Lead > [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-gotts-cmiosh-imaps-8b970a25/) #### Related services - [SYSTRA 4D Vision](https://www.systra.com/ireland/services/digital-engineering/systra-vision/) - [Digital Solutions](https://www.systra.com/ireland/markets/transport/new-mobilities/) - [Systems Approach](https://www.systra.com/ireland/services/systems-approach/) - [Systems Assurance](https://www.systra.com/ireland/services/systems-approach/systems-assurance/) [Connect with our cyber security specialists](https://www.systra.com/ireland/contact/business/) [keep up to date with systra](https://www.systra.com/ireland/newsletter/) [Download our Cyber Security Brochure](https://www.systra.com/ireland/services/systems-approach/cyber-security/#h-download-our-cyber-security-brochure) ![systems-engineering-integration](https://www.systra.com/ireland/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2023/07/systems-engineering-integration-1024x645.jpg) _services Systems Engineering & Integration Read more sur Systems Engineering & Integration_ ![intelligent-transport-systems-header](https://www.systra.com/ireland/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2023/06/intelligent-transport-systems-header-1024x645.jpg) _services Intelligent Transport Systems Read more sur Intelligent Transport Systems_ ![transport-digital-systems](https://www.systra.com/ireland/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2023/07/transport-digital-systems-1024x645.jpg) _services Railway Digital Control Systems Read more sur Railway Digital Control Systems_ ![transport-communication-networks](https://www.systra.com/ireland/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2023/07/transport-communication-networks-1024x645.jpg) _services Transport Communication Networks Read more sur Transport Communication Networks_ #### We assist you in addressing your cyber security challenges 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.). ![](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2026/07/img634.jpg) #### 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.

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. ### our experience Discover how SYSTRA has applied innovation, technology and ingenuity to re-think infrastructure engineering solutions to optimise time, budget, safety and sustainability.
