Cyber Security

The assumption that legacy railway infrastructure remains naturally insulated from cyberattacks represents a dangerous illusion that conceals severe human operational risks. While recent radio frequency disruptions in Poland and vulnerability CVE-2025-1727 in the United States expose vulnerabilities in unauthenticated communication layers, operating conventional lines via telephone dispatching leaves systems exposed to human error. This analysis examines Turkey’s 6,000-kilometer signaling backlog, the anatomy of false security, and the necessity of upgrading to encrypted, domestically engineered railway networks.
