Transportation Cybersecurity Solution | Claroty

The Industrial Cybersecurity Challenge in Transportation

Record-high barrel prices, pressure to improve the passenger experience, evolving regulations, global supply chain disruptions, and greater prioritization of sustainability are among many factors fueling digital transformation in all segments of the transportation industry. From new innovations that optimize routing, navigation, and annunciation, to cloud connectivity that integrates RTLS and environmental data across vessels, lines, and control rooms to dynamically adjust routes based on weather conditions, to robotic cargo systems that enhance efficiency and safety — the benefits of automation, IT/OT connectivity, and cyber-physical systems (CPS) are why their once-manual, analog counterparts are becoming relics of the past.

But for many transportation organizations, these benefits are outpaced by industrial cybersecurity risks. This unfortunate reality has repeatedly manifested in the form of ransomware and other cyber attacks that exploit security weaknesses in the CPS on which the availability, integrity, and safety of transportation operations and infrastructure rely. Mitigating these risks and, ultimately, gaining cyber and operational resilience requires a new approach that extends far beyond traditional, IT-oriented security solutions. Enter Claroty.

Key Principles for Securing OT in Transportation

Securing the OT environments that underpin transportation operations and infrastructure requires following three key principles:

1. Gain visibility into all CPS in your OT environment

Asset visibility is foundational to industrial cybersecurity — which is why all segments of the transportation industry must attain a complete, real-time inventory of all OT, IoT, and BMS assets and other CPS across all ports, hubs, lines, vehicles, and vessels. It’s also why Claroty is proud to deliver the industry-leading visibility our transportation customers need to secure the OT environments on which their critical assets and operations rely.

2. Integrate your existing IT tools & workflows with OT

Since most transportation CPS use proprietary protocols and legacy systems, they are simply incompatible with traditional, IT-oriented solutions — but that doesn’t mean such solutions have no place in OT. Rather than require customers to further expand their already-extensive tech stacks, Claroty integrates with them seamlessly. As a result, our transportation customers can simply extend their existing tools and workflows from IT to OT.

3. Extend your IT security controls & governance to OT

Unlike their IT counterparts, most OT environments lack essential cybersecurity controls and consistent governance. Claroty eliminates this gap for our transportation customers. After providing visibility into all CPS and integrating your existing IT tools and workflows with OT, Claroty extends your existing IT controls to OT — unifying your security governance and driving all use cases on your journey to cyber and operational resilience.
