Safeguarding the tracks: fortifying smart railways against cyber threats for a secure tomorrow
Beijing Institute of Technology Press Co., LtdIn bustling megacities worldwide, smart trains and railways are emerging as heroes in the fight against gridlocked traffic and choking pollution. Powered by cutting-edge tech like IoT and digital connectivity, these systems promise faster, greener, and more personalized travel—think seamless real-time updates and automated operations. Yet, this digital evolution brings a dark side: heightened vulnerability to cyberattacks that could derail operations, compromise passenger safety, or expose sensitive data. As railways go "smart," the need for robust cybersecurity isn't just a tech add-on—it's essential to unlock the full potential of a connected world without inviting chaos. This study dives into the cybersecurity maze of smart railways, mapping out threats, vulnerabilities, and defenses to ensure these vital infrastructures remain resilient in an increasingly hostile digital landscape.
