Rail is among the most consequential and complex critical infrastructure sectors, and attacks on rail systems have increased 250% over the last five years. From positive train control systems and cloud-managed OT assets to legacy modernization and new IEC 63452 compliance requirements, the risk landscape for rail is evolving rapidly.

This session, led by Arturo Santos of Amtrak, will cover:

• How rail's unique role in the global supply chain makes it a high-value target, and why attacks in this sector carry outsized physical and economic consequences;
• What the IEC 63452 standard requires of rail operators, and how visibility, continuous monitoring and security-by-design principles form the foundation of a credible compliance and resilience strategy;
• What a practical artificial intelligence use case in rail operations looks like when deployed at scale.
