“…These practices involve safeguarding the organization from security threats and vulnerabilities, such as securing software licenses, controlling access to hardware devices, and ensuring the protection of sensitive data stored on IT assets. Previous research supports these notions [22], [23], [24] and notably, ISO 27001 offers comprehensive guidance to organizations and its importance regarding IT asset management.…”

IT Asset Management (ITAM) is crucial for organizations as it enables efficient utilization of IT resources, cost reduction, and risk mitigation. Horangi, a startup company, recognizes the importance of asset optimization and aims to enhance its ITAM service. To achieve this, researcher conducts research to identify a suitable framework as a solid foundation. ITIL 4, a widely adopted IT service management framework, is chosen, along with the Continual Service Improvement and Service Value Chain models. These models provide guidelines and recommendations to identify weaknesses and improve current processes while enabling continuous improvement in response to the dynamic IT landscape. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing in-depth interviews, document research, and the ITIL 4 guidebook. The study aims to provide recommendations and a foundation for developing guidelines and workflows in ITAM within the company. However, a limitation of this research is not much research related to ITIL 4 in ITAM area and cannot proceed until the implementation of recommendations due to funding constraints and approval processes. To overcome this limitation, it is suggested that future research includes the implementation process to obtain more optimal evaluation results.

“…There are eight papers under this category and seven are conceptual and one is a comparative study. Researchers have proposed cybersecurity architectures and frameworks based on various models and standards, like, ‘sliding scale’ model, 98,99 CKC model, 100–102 diamond model, 103,104 IEC 62443-3-2 standard 105,106 and DIN VDE V 0831-104 standard. 107,108 To analyse cyberattacks, researchers have provided an integrated framework by applying security assessment methods, like, Failure Modes, Vulnerabilities and Effects Analysis (FMVEA), and Attack Trees.…”

Digitalisation is transforming the railway globally. One of the major considerations in digital transformation of any industry including the railway is the increased exposure to cyberattacks. The railway industry is vulnerable to these attacks because since the number of digital items and also number of interfaces between digital and physical components in the railway systems keep increasing. Increased number of items and interfaces require new frameworks, concepts and architectures to ensure the railway system’s resilience with respect to cybersecurity challenges, such as lack of proactiveness, lack of holistic perspective and obsolescence of safety systems exposed to current and future cyber threats landscape. To this date, there are several works carried out in the literature that studied the cybersecurity aspects and its application on railway infrastructure. However, to develop and implement an appropriate roadmap to cybersecurity in railways, there is a need of describing emerging challenges, and approaches to deal with these challenges and the possibilities and benefits of these. Hence, the objective of this paper is to provide a systematic review and outline cybersecurity emerging trends and approaches, and also to identify possible solutions by querying literature, academic and industrial, for future directions. The authors of this paper conducted separate searches through four popular databases, that is, Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science and IEEE explore. For the screening process, authors have used keywords with Boolean operators and database filters and identified 90 articles most relevant to the study domain. The analysis of 90 articles shows that majority of the cybersecurity studies lies within the railways are conceptual and lags in application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) based security. Like other industries, it is very important that railways should also follow latest security technologies, trends and train their workforce for cyber hygiene since railways are already in digitalization transition mode.

Smart grids are considered to be the ‘next generation’ of electricity supply systems, capable of increasing supply reliability, availability and energy efficiency through the use of information and communication technologies. Despite these advantages, however, the development of smart grids in rail has lagged behind the domestic sector and other industries, only recently becoming a focus of the future railway. Generally speaking, the technologies suitable for railway smart grids are already being used in other sectors, but the unique socio-political and technological environment of rail makes their implementation challenging. This review explores smart grids in the rail context, focusing on the specific drivers, benefits and challenges for the development of railway smart grids. The necessity of rail as a future transport mode is highlighted, before the following drivers and their related benefits are explored: fossil-fuel reliance, supply reliability, customer participation and the nature of rail traction demand. Finally, the railway power supply system is described and a simple railway smart grid architecture introduced before seven technical challenges are presented against the rail background. These are: interfacing new equipment, electromagnetic compatibility, developing communications, distributed generation, cybersecurity, data and standardisation and regulation. It is hoped that this review will stimulate discussion in the field of railway smart grids and direct research into addressing the railway specific challenges hindering smart grid implementation.
