Threat Landscape
UIC CSSP WGG committed to deliver a yearly Threat Landscape, aiming to:
- Provide a consolidated view of the threats to railways (awareness)
- Develop a common view on the cyber security challenge
- Determine the level of maturity to be reached by railways
- Determine the points on which the sector should concentrate its efforts and its investments to protect itself from the identified threats (to be prepared)
- Check if the use cases of the Threat Landscape produced by ENISA apply to railways
- Analise threats in the light of what is specific to the railway context
This process is still in learning phase.
The report is built with full cooperation with the ER ISAC and the CISO Forum* ( *will be soon be instated).
The targeted audience for the Threat Landscape, apart CCSP WG itself, is:
- CISO Forum*
- ER ISAC
- ENISA
- ERA
- Railways that are not part of the CSSP Working Group
Note: Functional links between the Threat Landscape and the Solution Catalogues, as well as with Best Practices will be introduced in 2023.
