The railway industry is increasingly embracing new systems and technologies to enhance operational efficiency, safety, and connectivity. As operators move on from their legacy systems, there is an ever-increasing number of connections and complexity to deal with from a security standpoint.<\/p>\n
Expanded connectivity means increased chances for cyber criminals to disrupt critical infrastructure and global economies. Threats have gone from simple hacks to sophisticated attacks for financial gain, disruption, and espionage. The world\u2019s critical infrastructure \u2013 power grids, healthcare systems, food industries, and transportation \u2013 can and have been disrupted by cyberattacks.<\/p>\n
At Cisco, we\u2019re listening and working alongside rail operators, governments, and our networks to map out a digital future with trust at its foundation.<\/p>\n
Enterprise Architecture Approach<\/strong><\/h2>\nAn enterprise architecture approach and zero trust framework is recommended to think more holistically about how components in a network can work together to drive security and operational resilience. This enterprise approach, verses one that is more siloed, can deliver enterprise segmentation, security, and compliance across the ecosystem.<\/p>\n
Collecting and analyzing telemetry at the lowest granular level provides the comprehensive visibility needed to enable rail operators to see what\u2019s going on their network \u2013 in real time. This level of visibility enhances the capacity to troubleshoot whether the network is undergoing network performance issues or facing an adversarial attack. Visibility and analytics also result in the ability to orchestrate a dynamic response to either \u2013 anywhere across the enterprise.<\/p>\n
Cisco Connected Rail<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe Cisco Validated Design for Connected Rail provides an end-to-end architectural framework and a resilient network foundation designed to improve the safety, efficiency, performance, and service levels of rail operations. This architecture includes network segmentation to securely deliver multiple services (vital and nonvital) over a common infrastructure \u2013 lowering risk and reducing cost.<\/p>\n
The Cisco Connected Rail solution validates the architecture for high-speed, robust wireless connectivity between train and trackside as well as resilient, scalable access and backhaul transport infrastructure to interconnect wayside, stations, and operations centers across an operator\u2019s regions.<\/p>\n

The new digital reality that rail operators face brings with it an unprecedented level of risk. The volume and sophistication of threats have left these organizations with a mixture of security tools that don\u2019t always work together, are unnecessarily complex, and aren\u2019t well-suited to address increasingly advanced and costly attacks.<\/p>\n
Cisco works with rail operators around the world to achieve a holistic, simplified approach to security, privacy, and trust. At the heart of our approach is integration \u2013 reducing the complexity of managing dozens of products.\u00a0With this platform approach, customers work seamlessly with the tools they have to create a more safe and secure transportation ecosystem.<\/p>\n
