European projects interest by building new answers with non-rail representatives interest because the results are available for all UIC members Interest for financial aspects
CYRAIL – Cybersecurity for RAIL Take advantage of development in other industries : Aeronautic, automotive, IT Key topic for the rail sector with high impact on SAFETY Importance to prepare cybersecurity standards adapted for the rail environment Close cooperation with UIC rail system department Key element of quality of service for freight and passenger customers ERA CEN CENELEC Rail system
Thank you Good luck for this final CYRAIL event
