Protecting networks in signal technology Protect communication and data networks in railway infrastructure systems against unauthorized access. Find out more now in our application example for secure railway operations.
Application
As digitalization progresses, more and more communication and data networks are being set up for railway infrastructure. Although they are used for remote diagnostics or monitoring energy and systems and not in the vital area of control command and signaling technology, the networks must still be protected against unauthorized access. After all, these systems are also essential both for smooth railway operations and for accessing vital systems through secondary systems.
The increasing decentralization of the system architecture makes it even more difficult to protect them reliably. Data networks are highly branched – sometimes even extending into outdoor installations. It is not possible to protect every system component connected to the network against unauthorized access on site.
The solution
Protecting system networks in signal technology against unauthorized access
Security routers from Phoenix Contact are the security backbone of your infrastructure systems and provide the necessary protection against unauthorized access – both on a central and decentralized basis. In addition, an industrial switch ensures a stable and secure network connection between the router and the connected components.
