ABSTRACT
Smart towns plan several progressive practical innovations with the aim of ensuring the convenience of its
inhabitants and that of commuters or visitors. These innovations aim at not only ensuring convenience but also at increasing the
living standards based on sustainable results with the help of smart tools and logical methods. The foundation of smart towns is to
ensure the security of its inhabitants. Hence, it is a vital task to maintain the operation under normal conditions of critical
infrastructure. According to the Act 1997. year CLIX. critical infrastructure is also related to the railway activity of MÁV-group.
The Act concerns armed security sentry, conservationist and agrarian sentry. Hence safeguarding activity is performed by both
security guards and armed security guards at MÁV groups. Their duties do not only consist of preventive security tasks but also
defence in certain unique cases in accordance with the regulations of their field of work. In order for them to perform their
duties properly it is vital that an extensive, regular and practice-oriented training of security guards to happen. This
publication aims at illustrating the current training opportunities applied in the field of safeguarding that ensure the
functioning of the MÁV group. Also, some potential improvements of training opportunities are shed a light on. We outline the
internal training opportunities security professionals - employed by MÁV Co. - can participate at. Besides that, we illustrate the
possibilities of employee retraining and courses professionals employed by MÁV Co. are offered in order for them to become
well-trained professionals that can fit the complex system of the concept of a smart town.
