Report on IT security in Banedanmark's signalling system

09-12-2024

Report no. 7/2024

The report concerns IT security in Banedanmark’s signalling system.

The purpose of the study is to assess whether Banedanmark has ensured satisfactory IT security in the signalling system to withstand incidents that can cause system failures.

Rigsrevisionen assesses that Banedanmark has significant vulnerabilities in the IT security of the signalling system. Rigsrevisionen finds this highly unsatisfactory. Consequently, there is a risk that IT security incidents can disrupt or halt train operations, which will be a major inconvenience for passengers and businesses. Prolonged system failures can also impact the national economy.

Rigsrevisionen initiated the study in November 2023.
