    With more than 1 million passengers daily, security is an important issue at and for NS. Various measures protect both systems and passengers from cyber attacks. However, cybersecurity is not a static field and constant adjustments need to be made to the ever-changing field.

    Thereby, cybersecurity is not only a technical problem, but also a human problem. All this to keep a train full of passengers moving safely at high speed across the Dutch railway network. Jasper Hammink talks about how NS is making railways safer and more resilient in today's digital age.
