Alstom to Invest in the World’s First Cybersecurity Campus to Include A Dedicated Rail Focus

This investment strengthens Alstom’s ambition to lead the way to greener and smarter mobility, worldwide, as outlined in the company’s Alstom in Motion 2025 strategic plan. As a shareholder, Alstom has now become an associate member of the campus, a centre aimed at unifying the cybersecurity community and developing synergies between various industry players. Joining this campus will enhance existing rail systems’ cybersecurity capabilities and help drive the rail industry towards a cyber-safe future.

The “Campus Cyber”, located in La Défense (near Paris), will open in autumn 2021, and bring together industry, governments, academic and associations representatives under a single co-creation environment. Additional regional hubs are scheduled to open in the coming years. In a world driven by digitalization, assurances that data and connected systems are protected is a fundamental requirement of ensuring continuous operations. Therefore, Alstom has placed cybersecurity at the heart of its excellence and safety culture.

“This will be the first campus in the world with a focus on the rail sector. Again, Alstom is actively forming a partnership to ensure that the rail industry is equipped to tackle cybersecurity challenges all over the world. Leveraging expertise from other sectors to boost the ongoing development of cybersecurity solutions designed for mobility, will ensure a rapid and resilient response to operators’ demand,” says Eddy Thésée, Vice President of Cybersecurity at Alstom.
