Digital Transit Limited (DTL) has successfully received funding for the Global Business Innovation Programme (GBIP) Cybersecurity – Australia.

In October, Dr Howard Parkinson will visit Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide to establish research and development, coordination and collaboration between Australia and the UK. The focus will be on railway Operational Technology (OT). The goal is to help develop a body of knowledge, tools, and techniques for this important and growing industry.

Further details regarding the GBIP scheme can be found on the Innovate UK website – https://www.innovateukedge.ukri.org/gbip

DTL are experts in OT Cybersecurity in Rail, and offer a one-day workshop, or 6-week modular online course for engineers, managers and other rail decision-makers to learn about the new TS50701 standard.

CENELEC has just released TS50701:2023 with some significant changes. Digital Transit has already incorporated these into their Railway Cybersecurity OT courses.

TS50701 is a technical specification that adapts the cybersecurity industrial control standard IEC62443 to the railway for Operational Technology (OT). In railways, OT Technology includes reliability and safety critical systems such as signalling, SCADA, door systems, brakes, etc.

A critical issue is that IT and OT should be separated and that safety and cybersecurity have complementary goals but must be treated differently – though totally coordinated.

Digital Transit Limited have been awarded £50K free support to develop and productize their cutting-edge rolling stock sensing devices. The award will utilise the expertise in engineering from the University of Huddersfield.

This further consolidates DTL’s existing research being done alongside the Centre for Efficiency and Performance Engineering, and the Institute of Railway Research.

I4M is funded by the UK Research and Innovation Strength in Places Fund (SIPF) as part of the AMPI innovation initiative.
