Enhancing Cybersecurity in Rail Networks with the ICS-R570 - Lanner Electronics | Network Appliance | uCPE SD-WAN| MEC Server | Intelligent Edge Appliance

Rail service providers are facing increasing cybersecurity risks within their wayside signaling and train control infrastructure. With thousands of rail-specific assets and applications distributed across a wide network, there is a pressing need for continuous threat detection and monitoring to ensure network integrity and passenger safety.

Solution

The primary goal is to deploy a robust cybersecurity solution that enable advanced threat detection and monitoring capabilities, leveraging deep packet inspection technology to monitor all in-transit data on the wayside signaling network. This approach enables the identification of both application-level and network-level threats in real-time.

Upon detecting a threat, automated alerts are promptly relayed to the rail network’s operations center, enabling immediate response and mitigation actions. This ensures swift intervention to address any impending security breaches and minimize their impact on the rail network's operations.

Moreover, the solution is designed to monitor all in-transit data within the critical signaling, control, and communications networks without compromising network integrity or safety. It also includes measures to protect surveillance systems and provide comprehensive network and asset visibility for all connected systems.
