Cybersecurity in Railway Transport

VUZ (Výzkumný Ústav Železniční, a.s.) is a leader in cybersecurity, specialising in rail transport, industrial facilities, and urban infrastructure. We provide system resilience assessment services against cyber threats based on international standards, proprietary methodologies and extensive practical experience. Our objective is to ensure the safe, functional and resilient operation of technology across key sectors.

Cybersecurity testing – vehicle, train, train set

We conduct cybersecurity testing based on our own standards, as well as according to the TC 50701 technical standard. This standard introduces a systematic approach to cybersecurity issues that can be applied to all areas of railway applications. Howe­ver, we also effectively apply this approach in industrial and municipal environments, where ensuring the protection of operational technologies and public services is necessary. The entire testing process is monitored and recorded. The outcome is an evaluation report and certificate issued by our company, based on the VUZ standard and following ISO 27000, IEC 62443 and TC 50701.
