Railway OT Cybersecurity: A field constraint above all else
Railway OT environments present unique challenges:
Industrial PLCs in service for many years,
Heterogeneous and critical networks,
Safety requirements incompatible with traditional IT approaches.
Authorities emphasize the need for approaches dedicated to industrial systems, as noted by ANSSI (French National Cybersecurity Agency) in its recommendations for industrial system security:
Railway cybersecurity must therefore be OT-centric, field-oriented, and designed for continuous operation.
What you will discover in our upcoming technical article
In our next technical press release, we will share concrete feedback and expertise regarding:
Railway OT Network Segmentation To limit incident propagation without disrupting operations.
Hardening of PLCs and Critical Equipment Securing access, protecting existing PLCs, and maintaining operational conditions.
Safety-Compatible OT Monitoring Non-intrusive security alerts designed specifically for critical environments.
The LEROY Automation Approach
At LEROY Automation, we support industrial and railway players in securing their OT environments with a clear priority: never compromise safety or availability.
Our expertise covers:
Industrial network architecture and security, notably through the use of Data Diodes.
Hardening of control-command systems, implementing software security mechanisms (user accounts, secure passwords, encryption keys, etc.).
OT integration designed for 24/7 operations.
