Digi International announced a collaboration with rail cybersecurity company Cylus. The alliance integrates Cylus’s advanced cybersecurity solution, CylusOne, into the advanced Digi TX64 5G Rail cellular router solution — delivering an improved level of cyber protection for rail networks worldwide.
With rail systems increasingly relying on digital connectivity and the number of cyber threats to rail communication networks on the rise, safeguarding these networks has never been more essential. The integration of CylusOne with Digi TX64 5G Rail directly addresses the challenge, providing a comprehensive, space-saving solution that combines 5G connectivity and cybersecurity into a single device, along with Digi Remote Manager for remote monitoring and management.
“Our collaboration with Cylus marks a significant advancement for rail cybersecurity,” said Steve Mazur, Business Development Director for Government and Transportation at Digi International. “With the new integration, we are not only enhancing the security and reliability of rail networks but also streamlining and improving operations — delivering a unified solution for rail operators globally.”
The Digi TX64 5G Rail cellular router solution with integrated CylusOne is the first product of its kind to offer both high-speed connectivity and specialized cyber protection in a single device — simplifying infrastructure and reducing the complexity and physical space requirements typical of multi-device setups.
“Cylus is at the forefront of rail cybersecurity, and we are delighted to partner with Digi International to bring this innovative solution to the industry,” commented Miki Shifman, CTO of Cylus. “Together we can provide rail operators with unparalleled security and connectivity, underlining our ongoing mission and commitment to protect critical rail infrastructure against evolving cyber threats — ensuring continuous safety and operational efficiency.”
Unlike generic cybersecurity solutions, CylusOne is uniquely built for the industry and designed for the operational rail technology environment — addressing the specific threats faced by today’s rail systems and an excellent security enhancement for the Digi TX64 5G Rail router.
Providing cellular connectivity across 5G, 4G, and 3G networks, combined with true enterprise-grade routing, security, firewall, and integrated VPN capabilities, the Digi TX64 5G Rail router’s versatile interface design includes an integrated Wi-Fi 6 access point and client, USB ports, serial connections, inertial-guided GNSS, Bluetooth® and a 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch, along with various configuration options. Additionally, it features FirstNet Trusted support to help address the critical needs of first responders during emergencies.
Digi TX64 5G Rail also adheres to the U.S. government’s FIPS 140-2 cybersecurity standard and incorporates the Digi TrustFence security framework, ensuring robust security from day one and throughout its lifecycle. With Digi Remote Manager and available value-added services, deployment and central management of the Digi TX64 5G Rail are both straightforward and efficient.
Cylus and RailTel, an end-to-end telecom, IT, and ICT solution provider in India, announced a collaboration to strengthen the cybersecurity framework of Indian railway infrastructure.
