'It is impossible to stay ahead of cyber security, that is why it is important to create communication and training campaigns within companies and to make them mandatory for new employees.' This was one of the main conclusions highlighted by Ineco's Executive Coordination of Digital Transformation and AI Deputy Director, Luisa Calvo, at the Observatory of Cybersecurity in the railway sector.
Organised by the newspaper El Economista, this conference brought together industry experts to discuss the latest trends and challenges in railway cybersecurity. During the conference, topics such as data protection, the implementation of security measures in complex systems, and the need for a holistic approach that includes technology, processes and people were discussed.
In her speech, Luisa Calvo, also stressed that: 'the process is a constant cycle where it is born, it is observed, we see what can be applied, it is reviewed if there are new fronts and we start again'. Among the initiatives that Ineco has been taking, she highlighted the creation of 'a safety committee with an internal perspective, to look at ourselves, and then with an external one, to be able to implement in all the projects we collaborate on. In this way, knowledge is fed back and expanded'. 'You have to protect all layers and be prepared. And if everything fails, a post-mortem examination is necessary, because it is through mistakes that we learn and gain information for future situations,' she explained, highlighting the value of the analysis phase.
Fernando Espliego, Director of Customer Services at Siemens Mobility Spain, Esther Mateo, Security, Processes and Corporate Systems at Adif General Director, Francisco Lázaro, CISO | DPO at Renfe and LogiRAIL and Alejandro Prieto, Cybersecurity Technician for Transport and Space at INCIBE also participated in this event.
