Rail Cybersecurity Engineering
professional program
MANNHEIM ‣ 14.09.26 – 18.09.26 ‣ 9AM–5PM (CEST)
MAFINEX TECHNOLOGIEZENTRUM
Overview
Rail Cybersecurity Engineering – Professional Program is a five-day, expert-led program focused on applying cybersecurity as an engineering discipline across the rail lifecycle.
The program is designed to help experienced practitioners bridge the gap between railway engineering and cybersecurity – not in theory, but in real projects. Participants work through the complete lifecycle workflow, from baseline and governance to risk assessment, security requirements, assurance, testing, and acceptance-ready evidence, applying TS 50701 (IEC 63452) and IEC 62443 in realistic project contexts.
The exercises produce artefacts participants can reuse in their own work, including a cybersecurity management plan, asset and risk registers, a railway-specific threat catalogue, zoning diagrams, a requirements matrix, and an evidence checklist.
This program is delivered on-site at the MAFINEX Technologiezentrum, Julius-Hatry-Straße 1, 68163 Mannheim, Germany.
Arrival details, room information, and catering arrangements will be sent with your booking confirmation.
Why should you attend
Rail cybersecurity is no longer a niche topic or a purely regulatory exercise. It has become an integral part of system design, assurance, testing, and acceptance. Across rail projects, assessments, and standardization activities, the same challenges appear again and again:
- Uncertainty about how to handle cybersecurity requirements from customers
- Cybersecurity requirements that exist on paper but are not verifiable
- Deliverables that appear complete but do not create confidence during FAT/SAT
- Traceability that links documents, but not decisions or implementations
- Security treated as an add-on rather than an engineering discipline
- Teams struggling to interpret and apply standards consistently
These issues are rarely caused by bad intentions. They are usually the result of missing cross-domain understanding and a lack of practical guidance on how cybersecurity should be engineered throughout the lifecycle. This program was created to address exactly that gap.
The focus is on engineering logic rather than checklists, lifecycle thinking rather than isolated activities, and understanding why decisions are made rather than only what is written. The goal is not to create cybersecurity specialists in five days, but to enable professionals to apply cybersecurity competently and confidently within railway engineering contexts.
who can attend
- Rail engineers
- Cybersecurity engineers and specialists
- Cybersecurity managers
- Technical and system managers
- Assessors and auditors
- Project leads and technical authorities
The program assumes basic familiarity with either railway engineering or cybersecurity. It is not an introductory course.
learning objectives
After completing this program, participants will be able to:
- Apply cybersecurity as an engineering discipline across the rail lifecycle
- Interpret standards such as TS 50701 (IEC 63452) and IEC 62443 in real projects
- Define meaningful, verifiable, and testable security requirements
- Build credible evidence and artefacts for later assessment and homologation
- Prepare cybersecurity aspects for FAT, SAT, and acceptance
- Identify typical pitfalls early, before they become costly project issues
- Defend security decisions in audits and assessments
- Align engineering, safety, and cybersecurity teams on one lifecycle workflow and evidence baseline
course agenda
The program is structured across five days:
Day 1 – Rail Cybersecurity Foundations
Scope, systems, lifecycle, roles, interfaces, methodologies
Day 2 – TS 50701 Governance & Cybersecurity Management
Workflow, CSMS structure, governance, lifecycle integration, evidence logic
Day 3 – Security Concept & Risk Assessment
Assets, threats, IRA/DRA reasoning, zoning
Day 4 – Security Requirements & Engineering
Verifiable requirements, traceability, supplier interfaces
Day 5 – Assurance, Testing & Real-World Practice
Cybersecurity case, FAT/SAT readiness, mock assessment
A detailed syllabus can be provided on request.
format of this course
- 5-day on-site training in Mannheim
- Instructor-led delivery
- Interactive discussions and Q&A
- Practical examples and realistic railway project context
- Exercises create deliverables that can be used in later real work
- Limited cohort size (10 participants) to enable deep discussion
- Language: English
Also available as a 1-day foundation course
Day 1 of this program is also available separately as Rail Cybersecurity Foundations (1 Day), a focused entry point for participants who need strong fundamentals before moving into governance, risk, and engineering detail.
The next Foundations course takes place in Mannheim on 11 September 2026, directly before this program.
