PARIS, September 13, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Waterfall's industrial cybersecurity products are trusted by critical

infrastructures worldwide

Waterfall Security Solutions [ http://www.waterfall-security.com/ ], the

Operational Technology (OT) security company, today announced a collaboration

agreement to secure safety-critical and reliability-critical operations

networks for railways and public transport with Alstom, the global leader in

smart and green mobility. Increased digitalization and interconnectivity in

rail systems enhance system efficiencies and the passenger experience, but also

make transport infrastructures more exposed to cyber-attacks. In a world driven

by digital, having assurance that data and connected systems are protected is a

basic requirement to ensure continuous operations for all transport authorities.

This partnership is an important response to the growing digitalization and

connectivity in metros and railways. It is also in line with the rail

industry's own acknowledgment that cyber threats must be made a priority. This

priority is reflected in Europe's new TS 50701 standard and the new US TSA

1580-21-01 and 1582-21-01 Security Directives.

"Operational efficiency and enhanced passenger experience are two clear focuses

for Alstom. The increased network integration that is needed to achieve these

goals are exposing railway networks to new and evolving threats," said Eddy

Thésée, Vice President Cybersecurity at Alstom. "Our partners ability to

provide physical protection of OT and control networks while seamlessly

integrating those networks with business automation systems has become

essential to efficient operation."

"Our global partnership with Alstom is driven by a shared commitment to secure

critical infrastructures such as railways, metros, and light train systems,"

said Lior Frenkel, CEO and Co-Founder at Waterfall. "Together, we bring to

public transport operators Waterfall's expertise and technologies, which have

been proven and applied in other critical infrastructures, including electric

power, oil & gas and water treatment systems. Together, we will support rail

operators in their challenge to meet cybersecurity imperatives, standards and

legal requirements."
