Railway Cybersecurity Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Number of Cyber Attacks to Favor Market

Critical infrastructures in railways are increasingly exposed to possible cyber-attacks. Connectivity and the use of technology in all sectors have improved the service provided to citizens, optimizing processes and resources and improving the quality of each operator’s actions. But this connectivity also has its dark side, facilitating the actions of malicious actors who can attack and disrupt the corresponding service. The sector faces several cyber threats that can significantly affect its operations. The main components that cyber-attacks could target include control and signaling systems, communication networks and traffic management systems, passenger information and ticketing systems, as well as maintenance and asset management infrastructure.

Rising Demand from Cloud-Based Cybersecurity Services.

The rising demand for cloud-based cybersecurity services is anticipated to drive the market in the coming years. Cloud-based cybersecurity solutions can aid in the automatic management and monitoring of railway signalling systems. One can track the status of each signal using sensors and automatically change and modify settings as needed. It can assist in enhancing productivity and prevent problems before they occur. A sensor, for example, will notice an issue with a particular signal instantly. And on the cloud, changes will be made in real-time that affect only that signal. Trains can thus avoid those signals without being delayed or disrupted.
