Onboard switch-based IDS for full train visibility
Enhance resilience of modern rail networks by monitoring traffic at the egde.
By detecting threats directly inside the on-board network, the switch-based IDS provides clear visibility into what is happening across the train, without changing the network configuration.
Traffic is processed locally on each switch, and only important alerts are flagged, minimizing the impact on network bandwidth.
The result is faster detection, simpler deployment, and more comprehensive picture of network activity, without adding complexity or extra hardware, making it well suited for retrofitting existing fleets as well as new builds.
Have questions about Ethernet switch based IDS?
Avoid network redesign
The IDS is deployed on the switch, where the packets are directly visible. Only alert data is sent, keeping bandwidth overhead extremely low.
Full network visibility
Turn every switch into a network sensor, giving visibility of all traffic across the entire train network and not just in certain locations.
Proactive threat detection
Spot unusual activity from maintenance ports and externally-connected subsystems, detect hardware changes or rogue devices, and alert on abnormal traffic patterns.
