EN 50128 Railway Control System Cybersecurity Testing (adapted for defense)

The EN 50128 standard is a European railway standard that provides a framework to ensure the safety and security of railway control systems. This standard was originally developed with the rail industry in mind, but it can be adapted for use in other critical infrastructure sectors, including military applications.

Our laboratory specializes in adapting EN 50128 for defense purposes to meet the unique demands of cybersecurity testing in military environments. This adaptation is crucial as it ensures that defense systems are robust against cyber threats while maintaining operational integrity and safety. The test framework covers all aspects of software development life cycle, from requirements analysis through deployment and maintenance.

Our team of experts has extensive experience working with the latest cybersecurity technologies and methodologies to ensure compliance with international standards such as ISO/IEC 27001, NIST SP 800-53, and others. By leveraging these standards alongside EN 50128, we provide comprehensive testing solutions tailored specifically for military systems.

The scope of our cybersecurity testing includes:

  • Threat modeling
  • Vulnerability assessment
  • Penetration testing

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between EN 50128 and other cybersecurity standards?
EN 50128 focuses specifically on railway control systems, whereas other standards like NIST SP 800-53 or ISO/IEC 27001 offer broader guidance applicable to various industries. The adaptation of EN 50128 for defense purposes ensures that it aligns perfectly with the unique challenges faced by military organizations.
How long does a typical EN 50128 cybersecurity test take?
The duration can vary depending on factors such as system complexity, size, and existing documentation. Generally speaking, we aim to complete the initial assessment within four weeks, followed by approximately two months for full testing.
Do you offer remote access capabilities during the testing process?
Yes, our team can provide remote access support throughout the entire testing cycle. This ensures that we have all necessary data and resources at hand to conduct thorough evaluations.
Can you integrate EN 50128 with other standards?
Absolutely! We can incorporate elements of multiple standards into your testing process, ensuring comprehensive coverage and maximum effectiveness.
What kind of documentation do you require from clients before starting the test?
Typically, we request high-level architecture diagrams, detailed software specifications, and any relevant regulatory documents. This helps us tailor our approach to your specific needs.
How often should EN 50128 cybersecurity testing be conducted?
It depends on the criticality of the system and regulatory requirements. However, we recommend conducting regular reviews every three to five years or whenever there are significant changes made to the software.
What happens if we discover a vulnerability during testing?
Our team works closely with you to prioritize and address vulnerabilities in order of severity. We provide detailed guidance on remediation steps alongside our comprehensive report.
Is there anything special about how you handle sensitive information during the testing process?
Absolutely! Security is paramount throughout every stage of our testing procedure. All interactions and data exchanges are conducted securely, ensuring complete protection against unauthorized access.
