As the world transitions away from fossil fuels, electricity and hydrogen will play a crucial role in future transportation. At the same time, hyper-connected transportation systems and autonomous vehicles will reshape how people and goods move around. These technologies will be crucial to meeting future business and living requirements, as well as net zero targets.

But as transportation systems get smarter, they also become more complicated – particularly the integration of unmanned aerial vehicles and autonomous vehicles into existing transport infrastructure.

Our impact

As organisations create new smart mobility solutions, they must address both cyber and physical risks throughout the entire system lifecycle. At the same time, they must protect legacy systems.

This is precisely what Airbus Protect offers. We draw from cross-industry expertise gained over three decades of protecting Airbus’ complex systems, combining this with digital innovation pedigree.

The Airbus Approach for Cyber Security in the Rail Sector

The rail sector is shifting to a new paradigm of digitalisation to bring in efficiencies to counter the increased demands of travelling passengers and goods transport, while ensuring the highest safety and security of the infrastructure. To achieve this goal, Rail Operators have adopted modern systems combining IT and IoT technologies. Digital transformation strategies within the Rail sector include more connectivity for Industrial Control Systems (ICS), increasing their exposure and potentially making them more vulnerable and exposed to cyber-attacks.
