The behavior produced/observed when a component or system is tested.
In general, adaptability is the ability of a system to adjust its behaviour in an efficient manner to reflect changes in its
environment or in parts of the system itself.
Adaptability of a railway communication solution means, that such a system should be decoupled from the
WP3_2.1 Adaptability application, i.e., it should fit the needs and fulfil the expectations of several different heterogeneous applications.
Future applications will be able to be integrated efficiently. Furthermore, such a communication system should be
adaptable in terms of its multi-bearer capability, supporting a number of different radio access technologies and
related networks.

Assault on a system that derives from an intelligent threat, i.e., an intelligent act that is a deliberate attempt
(especially in the sense of method or techniques) to evade security services and violate the security policy of a
system.
Note to entry: There are different commonly recognized classes of attack:
* An "active attack" attempts to alter system resources or affect their operation.
* A "passive attack" attempts to learn or make use of information from system but does not affect system resources.
WP8_009 attack [ISA/IEC 62443-1-2, D1E6, 2017]
* An "inside attack" is an attack initiated by an entity inside the security perimeter (an "insider") , i.e., an entity that
is authorized to access system resources but uses them in a way not approved by those who granted the
authorization..
* An "outside attack" is initiated from outside the perimeter, by an unauthorized or illegitimate user of the system
(including insider attacking from outside the security perimeter). Potential outside attackers range from amateur
pranksters to organized criminals, international terrorists, and hostile governments.
