NEW CYBERSECURITY OPPORTUNITIES FOR RAIL INDUSTRY

The railway cybersecurity market is expected to grow by 8.2 per cent to reach more than $11 million by 2027. Digital transformation is said to be “leading the way” according to reports from the Railway Cybersecurity Market Forecast to 2027 global analysis. Common areas for digitisation are train control, maintenance monitoring, signalling control, passenger information systems and video protection. Railways are becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks as a result.
