Part1. SIFER 2025: The Must-Attend Event for Rail Innovation and Cybersecurity

The SIFER 2025 Railway Industry Trade Show returns as a key event for rail professionals, showcasing advancements in safety, cybersecurity, and engineering solutions shaping the future of rail transportation.

This year, LEROY AUTOMATION and MIOS Elettronica s.r.l. a leader in embedded electronic systems for rolling stock and railway signaling, takes center stage, showcasing its pioneering advancements alongside solutions from Ag?n Electronics . Together, these innovators demonstrate how cutting-edge engineering drives the future of rail transportation.

This edition LEROY Automation want to highlights the two main critical achievements of the year: the IEC 62443-4-1 Cybersecurity Certification and engineering services for Safety Integrity Level 2 (SIL2) software designs, addressing challenges in safety and digital security.

IEC 62443-4-1: Strengthening Cybersecurity in Rail Systems

With rail systems increasingly digitized, cybersecurity is vital. The IEC 62443-4-1 Cybersecurity Certification provides a structured approach to securing the development lifecycle of industrial control systems.

Why It Matters for Rail Systems

• Protection Against Cyber Threats: Safeguards critical infrastructure from attacks.
• Global Standardization: Ensures compliance with international benchmarks.
• Innovation-Driven Development: LEROY Automation will showcase solutions incorporating this standard.

Adopting IEC 62443-4-1 helps rail operators protect passengers, maintain operational continuity, and build trust with the railway ecosystems and its key players.

SIL2: Ensuring Safety in Rail Operations

SIFER 2025 also spotlights engineering services for designing safety-critical application software with up to SIL2 standard requirements. These services create reliable, compliant systems tailored to rail operations.

The Role of SIL2

• Operational Reliability: Improves quality designs and drastically reduces risks in automated safety-critical functions in rolling stock vehicles and signalling subsystems.
• Integrated Cybersecurity: Combines up to SIL2 requirements with IEC 62443-4-1 product development standard for seamless safety, Cyber and security.
• Tailored Solutions: Custom engineering services for modern rail systems adapted to the right needs to support rolling stock manufacturers and on-board train OEMs.

This integrated focus helps all train operators, vehicle manufacturers and carborne integrators achieve both functional integrity and robust protection.

SIFER 2025: A Hub for Innovation and Collaboration
