Strategic Morning Panel Discussion

This session delivers a practical roadmap for aligning rail safety regulation with cyber security governance, enabling faster certification, clearer accountability, and safer operational deployment. It directly addresses real-world conflicts between ENU, TSI, NIST and supplier standards, translating regulatory complexity into deployable operational clarity.

• How can the industry work with supplies to streamline standards and regulations to harmonise rail safety regulation and cyber security standards without slowing delivery?

• Examining the challenge of integrating current rail safety regulations like ENU and TSI’s into existing cyber security frameworks and standards list NIST.

• Finding common ground with the interpretation of security standards across industries, impact of weak governance on rail operations

• Implementing industry-wide cyber certification models to raise baseline security across suppliers, increasing the standards for security in rail

• Adopting a universal shared cyber language to improve regulatory alignment, supplier collaboration, and system resilience across industries

• Best practice managing certificate lifecycles, patch governance, and accountability in operational environments.
