Proactively safeguarding rail operations, passenger safety, and national security across the modern rail ecosystem from cyber threat, at the physical connection layer
Rail networks are fundamental to public mobility and national infrastructure, yet rely on legacy OT systems with dangerously inadequate network segmentation. FireBreak™ physically isolates vital operational technology, including signaling, control systems, and critical backups, from all network connectivity, completely eliminating remote attack pathways.
When signaling controllers and traffic management systems are physically disconnected during idle or high-risk periods, they become undetectable and unreachable to cyber threats. FireBreak™ supports compliance with NIS2, IEC 62443, and critical national infrastructure frameworks, providing tamper-proof logging and auditable air-gapping for incident analysis.
Rail networks rely on legacy OT systems — signaling, traffic management, SCADA/ICS — with dangerously inadequate network segmentation across dispersed operational areas.
The converged IT/OT landscape expands the attack surface. A successful attack means train delays, signaling manipulation, freight disruption, and loss of public confidence.
Nation-state actors and ransomware groups specifically target critical rail infrastructure to cause strategic disruption or extract ransoms.
Legacy signaling equipment with "bridgeable air gaps" when connected to cloud platforms.
Third-party vendor access via VPNs creates persistent, poorly monitored entry points.
Insufficient IT/OT segmentation allows lateral movement from passenger Wi-Fi to safety-critical systems.
Meeting NIS2 and IEC 62443 compliance requirements with real-time monitoring and resolution capability.
Physically isolates signaling controllers, interlocking systems, traction power control, and backup servers, eliminating remote attack pathways entirely.
Signaling systems only establish network connections during scheduled maintenance windows. Outside these windows, the physical link is fully severed.
Air-gapped backups ensure rapid restoration after ransomware. Operators restore from a clean, uncorrupted backup without yielding to ransom demands.
Role-based physical access: third-party contractors receive predefined, token-gated maintenance windows with immutable access logs.
Time-bound connectivity windows dramatically reduce attack opportunities. Systems are offline and unreachable for the vast majority of the time.
Supports compliance with NIS2, IEC 62443, and critical national infrastructure resilience frameworks with tamper-proof audit trails.
