Webinar series - Cyberproofing rail

Navigating standards, strategy, and real-world resilience in OT systems

A three-part webinar series exploring how rail operators can strengthen OT cybersecurity, from regulation to real-world action.

As rail networks across Australia become increasingly connected and data-driven, the risk landscape is shifting. Operational technology (OT) systems, such as signalling, SCADA, and onboard control are now targets for cyber threats with safety, reliability, and regulatory implications.

To support the sector in addressing these emerging challenges, DNV is pleased to launch a three-part webinar series exploring the critical intersection of rail safety and cybersecurity. Through expert-led sessions, the series will provide clarity on regulatory frameworks, practical implementation methodologies, and real-world strategies for building OT cyber resilience in rail.

Whether you’re just starting your cybersecurity journey or looking to refine existing processes, this webinar series will help you understand where you stand, and where to go next.

Join us for this practical, expert-led session to build your organization’s cyber readiness from the ground up.

What does rail OT cybersecurity look like in the real world?

Lessons from case studies on risk mitigation and cross-functional collaboration.

 

Agenda:

  • Overview of case context – operator type, system scope, and project background
  • Identification of cyber gaps and their impact on safety, resilience, or operations
  • Methodologies applied to assess, mitigate, and validate risks (as covered in Episode 2)
  • Cross-functional collaboration between safety, cybersecurity, and operations teams
  • Key takeaways – lessons learned, implementation outcomes, and measurable improvements
