Turn untapped data into actionable insights. Security monitoring enhances operational efficiency.
US railroad companies turn to Shift5’s freight and transit security solution because it provides continuous monitoring of railway vulnerabilities, a rules engine that alerts automatically, and work packages that enable cyber security analysts to address cyber threats immediately. Detection and responsive management of your transit system’s cyber health results in long-term savings on cost and person hours.
“Recent attacks in London, Brussels, and New York City...highlight the importance of strengthening and securing passenger rail systems around the world.
Railway systems are inherently vulnerable to cyberattack due to their fixed schedules, public availablity of route and schedule information, multiple open access points, high ridership, and limited access lanes.
A malicious attack could mean unrecoverable loss of reputation, rider confidence, and life.
Real safety means protecting railway infrastructure, passengers, and cargo from physical and invisible threats.
IT and security investments must be made to strengthen rail OT systems and keep people safe.
"Cyberattacks can destroy a transit agency’s physical systems, render them inoperable, hand over control of those systems to an outside entity or jeopardize the privacy of employee or customer data."
Our experience draws from top government and private sector, military grade cybersecurity teams.
