Cybersecurity for Railway Systems Today
The cyber threat environment for rails operators grows steadily worse. For example, targeted ransomware attacks are currently using the techniques and technologies that only five years ago were considered the domain of nation-state adversaries. Rail system operators urgently need cybersecurity designs and solutions that will repel even the most sophisticated of cyber attackers, today and throughout the foreseeable future. Waterfall’s Unidirectional Security Gateways enable are such solutions. Unidirectional Gateways are recommended by both IEC 62443 and the draft TS 50701 standards for rails networks requiring robust, long-lived security.
Hardware-based, physical protection from rail cyber attacks means that Waterfall solutions will continue protecting vital networks, no matter what software vulnerabilities may be discovered in the future. And all cyber attacks are information – this is what “cyber” means. Physically controlling attack information flows defeats cyber/information attacks, from the most mundane to the most sophisticated, both now and in the future.
