JSCo Russian Railways will form its own classification of vulnerabilities in information systems

Russian Railways will form its own classification of vulnerabilities in information systems, Gudok said in July.

Security issues of the holding's critical information infrastructure, as well as verification of existing systems, expertise of equipment planned for purchase is carried out by the Cybersecurity Center of NIIAS JSC.

In 2021, NIIAS plans to test eight more control systems. The institute will also develop a regulatory framework and create its own methodology for classifying vulnerabilities. In addition, it is planned to develop a "Comprehensive Transport Security Passport" - a document that will reflect issues of information functional and transport cyber and physical security, as well as issues of import substitution.

In addition, the Center is developing cybersecurity requirements for microprocessor systems for controlling train traffic, locomotives and power supply, and station systems.

According to NIIAS statistics, almost 20% of all identified vulnerabilities carry a critical degree of danger, that is, under certain circumstances they could lead to threats to traffic safety. This is primarily due to the use of outdated software components with known vulnerabilities, the lack of built-in protection, and the fact that systems were developed at a time when security requirements were not applied to them.
