4SECURail makes progress on projects to tighten cyber security and improve signalling systems




Two 4SECURail projects have reached their mid-term objectives concerning the design of a Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) for joint EU-Rail cyber security, and a Formal Methods Demonstrator for improved Railway Signalling Systems.


4SECURail makes progress on projects to tighten cyber security and improve signalling systems

(09/03/2021) 


The 4SECURail project, started in December 2019 and officially launched in January 2020, will contribute to ensuring that interoperability and safety for signalling systems function properly, apart from providing measures to deploy collaborative cyber security support across Europe.

The consortium that carries out this project is made up of seven partners from Spain, Italy, The Netherlands, and France. These members are Ardanuy Ingeniería, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, FIT Consulting, Hit Rail, SIRTI, TREE Technology, and UIC.

The project team has already released the first version of the demonstrator and has defined the use case where the demonstrator will be tested: the handover of a train between two Radio Block Centres (RBC). The team is now working on the final release of the demonstrator and performing a cost-benefit analysis of the utilisation of formal methods in the railway signalling industry.

The members of the consortium working on the design of a European Railway CSIRT collaborative platform have finished the design of the model and are now building the collaborative platform prototype. This platform will be useful in coordinating the cyber security response actions of individual railway security teams.
