Peer Eichler
IT Solution Architect at DB Fernverkehr AG
About
Peer Eichler is an IT Solution Architect at Deutsche Bahn Fernverkehr with more than 10 years of experience spanning automotive, autonomous driving and railway IT/OT systems. His work has evolved from systems engineering and product development to system architecture and the design of complex IT landscapes, with a focus on integrating technology across operational and enterprise environments.
Throughout his career, he has worked at the intersection of architecture, cybersecurity and long-lived transportation systems. From embedded and connected systems to railway infrastructure and OT environments, the challenge is not simply to replace cryptographic algorithms, but to make security adaptable throughout the system lifecycle. The key question is how operators can move from theoretical quantum threats to practical, economically viable migration strategies.
As moderator of this roundtable, he aims to bring together perspectives from operators, technology providers and industry experts to explore how architecture, standards and collaboration can enable a quantum-resilient transportation ecosystem.
