Secure Digital Maintenance Solutions for Modern and Legacy Trains

Secure Digital Maintenance Solutions for Modern and Legacy Trains

Broadcasted on September 28, 2023

Digital transformation has revolutionized all aspects of the railroad industry. For operators, it means enhanced efficiency through data-driven decision-making, optimized maintenance and seamless collaboration across the fleet. For passengers, it means improved punctuality, reduced delays, and onboard amenities such as high-speed Wi-Fi, making travel more enjoyable and productive.

A train can host up to 500 individual systems onboard, and an essential part of maintaining that digital ecosystem and ensuring availability means keeping those systems continuously updated. And because rail systems are becoming increasingly interconnected, they also become more vulnerable to cyberattacks.

In fact, robust cyber security and digital maintenance are two of the most important challenges facing the rail industry today.

The Transport Security Administration (TSA) has mandated requirements to ensure passenger and freight railroad carriers have systems and processes in place to keep the software up to date and configuration changes well managed. However, the complexity of those processes—and the security risks that get introduced along the way—haven't been sufficiently discussed to date.

These are the challenges RazorSecure addresses with their innovation, Digital Maintenance Solution. In this webinar, we discuss observations and experiences of digital maintenance from a range of perspectives, including a train builder, a train operator and a solution provider.

In this webinar, we bring together some of the finest digital and cyber minds in the railroad industry. You’ll hear:

Challenges from a train builder’s perspective.
TSA cyber security mandates and their effects in greater detail.
The human and process failures that can unknowingly introduce malware onto train networks.
A cutting-edge digital maintenance solution which RazorSecure has developed to address these complex challenges, in terms of keeping software up to date in a timely and secure manner onboard.

There will also be a Q&A session at the end to answer any questions you might have. However, if there’s anything you’d like to ask beforehand, please email randy@razorsecure.com or submit via the registration form and we will answer your question during the panel discussion.
