Alstom announces that it has signed a three-year memorandum of understanding with Rochester Institute of Technology's (RIT) ESL Global Cybersecurity Institute (GCI) to advance transportation cybersecurity.

The two partners have established five pillars of collaboration, around student projects, student/talent recruitment, training, corporate education and sponsored research.

In addition, Alstom is the theme sponsor of the 2023 Collegiate Penetration Testing Competition (CPTC), a global IT security event. This sponsorship will introduce, for the first time ever, a rail transport theme on cybersecurity to the global competition which involves over 100 schools worldwide.

'In a digitally dominated world, having the assurance that connected data and systems are protected is a fundamental requirement to ensure business continuity. That's why Alstom has placed cybersecurity at the heart of its culture of excellence and security', said Eddy Thésée, Vice President of Cybersecurity Products and Solutions at Alstom.

'Partnering with institutions such as RIT's ESL Global Cybersecurity Institute creates value for the entire rail sector and cybersecurity industry', he continued.
