About CSSP
The railway sector faces new challenges, based on:
- The extended migration of the telecom networks to IP technology
- The NIS compliancy legislation
- An ever growing cyber threat environment
- A complex geo-political context
- …
Although railways have not yet been confronted to serious cyber incidents that would e.g. cause safety damages, the time for creating a space for exchanging cyber knowledge and expertise at European level has come.
UIC initiated the Cyber Security Solution Platform project for that purpose (2020).
The project gathers members from the railways who agreed to meet and to talk to each other regarding sensitive cyber security topics and issues they are dealing with in their daily activities.
The platform is meant to help companies from the railway sector to work in a much more efficient way since we all share the same critical infrastructure with the same (legacy) systems. We are submitted to more less the same constraints.
By sharing our knowledge in a practical way, and based on a regular contact with specific suppliers, we would like to better understand which solutions would be meaningful for us, in this rapid changing environment.
Our main purpose is to build a strong expertise within the platform that will be helpful for the sector. On of main deliverables of the CSSP WG is the Solution Catalogue, that will:
- Be dynamically link with the Threat Landscape (author / threat type)
- Allow members to share experience for a certain product to support decisions
- Give a suitable landscape for the best solutions for a typical threat at a given moment in time
- Allow suppliers to engage with railways as a whole to better design their products
