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.

A security model for distributed critical systems

This document presents a security architecture model for critical, distributed systems. As a model, it is a good tool to simplify analysis on complex systems, and is useful both in assessing existing systems, where divergence from the model points to probable security issues, and building new systems, where fitting in the model guarantees past experience is taken into account.

Approaches for applying MITRE ATT&CK framework in EBIOS RM Operational Scenarios

This study explores different approaches for using MITRE ATT&CK (a knowledge base of past security incidents) as a risk identification technique, within the frame of EBIOS RM (a security risk assessment methodology). It discusses the relevance of these approaches, and of the overall use of MITRE ATT&CK for risk assessment.
