Cyber Defense eMagazine March Edition for 2022
The view from the Publisher’s desk is very encouraging, based on celebrating 10 years of growth and success at Cyber Defense Magazine! When our tiny team began our journey at Cyber Defense Media Group (CDMG) together in January 2012, we were happy to help smaller, lesser-known innovators of infosec, get their message out there and Rise Above the noise. Now, after 10 years, we’re even helping multi-billion-dollar companies and governments around the globe with our offices in DC, London, FL, NY and other locations in play, as we continue to scale, thanks to you – our readers, listeners, viewers and media partners. Beyond the magazine, in response to the demands of our markets, the scope of CDMG’s activities has grown into many media endeavors. They now include Cyber Defense Awards; Cyber Defense Conferences; Cyber Defense Professionals (job postings site being revamped); Cyber Defense TV, Radio, and Webinars; and Cyber Defense Ventures (partnering with investors). Please check them out and see how much more CDMG has to offer! Very respectfully and with much appreciation, Gary Miliefsky, Publisher

How To Defend Railway Subsystems from Targeted<br />
<strong>Cyber</strong>-Attacks<br />

Specialist at TXOne Networks<br />

systems requires protection from many threats, and disruption can harshly impact a nation’s society,<br />
economy, and culture. As the critical industry of railways continues to grow, the risk of cyber-attacks has<br />
risen sharply.<br />
This creates a need <strong>for</strong> powerful cybersecurity solutions that can be rapidly and conveniently integrated<br />
into routine railway operations to safeguard these critical networks and systems. In addition, these<br />
solutions should be resource efficient and transmit data fast enough to keep up with commuter traffic and<br />
to accommodate the distributed nature of modern railway technologies.<br />
The vulnerable architecture of railway assets<br />
<strong>Cyber</strong> attacks on national utilities and transport networks have increased massively recently, but they are<br />
by no means new. Back in 2015, security specialists set up a realistic simulated rail network at the CeBIT<br />
