Siemens Mobility GmbH achieved the ISO 27001 certification on July 1, 2022. The ISO 27001 certification encompasses 20 Siemens Mobility locations in Germany with more than 9,000 employees and involves Siemens Mobility Business Units, such as Rolling Stock, Rail Infrastructure, Turnkey Systems and Customer Services and all disciplines, including procurement, development, production and project management. ISO 27001 is an internationally acknowledged standard specifying cybersecurity requirements that organizations must fulfill and to which they must adapt. Increasing digitalization brings benefits – as well as the need for adequate protection against cyberattacks. Rail operators face new cyber threats and cyber laws are giving rise to new requirements. Siemens Mobility offers secured products and solutions that are integrated into one holistic security architecture and provide security services. With these, Siemens Mobility secures rail systems from end to end throughout the complete lifecycle. The ISO 27001 certification is another building block in the protection of the entire development and production lifecycle for mobility systems. The ISO 27001 certification is a milestone for Siemens Mobility on the way to digitising the rail industry.

On this day, 120 years ago, Siemens’ Central Press Office was founded in
Berlin – making Siemens one of the first German companies to professionalize
its press work. This development was
preceded by a conference on the company’s “literary affairs,” at which
participants complained of an “increasing dispersion of Siemens’ newspaper,
advertising and news activities.” The solution was to establish a Central Press
Office, and a Circular was issued on February 8, 1902, to officially announce
this step.
The central artery of the Copenhagen S-train network is now in operation
with a new Communications-Based Train Control System (CBTC) provided by Siemens
Mobility.
VAG
Verkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft orders 14 more Avenio trams for Nuremberg, setting
the course for a transition in mobility. The stated goal is to strengthen
public transport in the Franconian metropolis. To this end, over the next few years,
the frequency of service will be increased, new lines will be built, and new
services will be created for Nuremberg's passengers.
After the initial
order for 12 vehicles in 2019, VAG Verkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft took the option
included in the contract and is expanding the fleet to a total of 26 trams.
Since November, the first Avenio Nuremberg has been completing the necessary
test runs at the Siemens Mobility Test Center in Wegberg-Wildenrath. Passenger
service is scheduled to start in summer 2022.
