IT Security for the maintenance interface
Digitalisation is the greatest opportunity in the rail sector to achieve Germany’s and Europe’s climate targets. Digitalisation and autonomous driving can increase the competitiveness of the railways, increase transport capacities and improve customer satisfaction. Connectivity and standardisation can also enable predictions and real-time optimisation. However, this is accompanied by an increased dependency on the availability of data and the digital infrastructure of the railways. At the same time, this also increases vulnerability to cyber attacks. Developments in recent months and years show that the critical railway infrastructure is increasingly becoming the focus of attackers. It is clear to everyone involved that the transport of people and goods is worth protecting in many respects, which includes protecting the IT security of the systems in terms of confidentiality, integrity and availability.

How to monitor your micro controller devices with Prometheus and Grafana
Why monitoring? You have just completed your firmware for your microcontroller and have a bunch of them installed at your customer's site. They seem to work, but you are unsure how they behave in the long run? You want to know if they are online, how much memory they...
Can the Industrial PC Market Scale Any Further?
Jeder Systemarchitekt kennt das Dilemma. Am liebsten würde er alles selbst im eigenen Haus entwickeln lassen. Dann wäre es wenigstens exakt so, wie es für ihre/seine Systemarchitektur perfekt passen würde. Immer weniger Unternehmen können sich dieses Vorgehen leisten,...
