The importance of staying safe from cybercrime has heightened with the increasing use of digital technology in the rail industry.

Encompass has developed a simplified process for steering customers through compliance with IEC 62443, which includes an evaluation of the design, a review of the modifications, and testing and validation of the mitigations to minimise the risk of a cyber-attack.
