阿尔斯通布局轨道交通网络安全 投资以色列Cylus公司

2020年12月9日–阿尔斯通完成了一笔交易，向以色列的网络安全企业Cylus投资700万美元，从而获得了该公司的少数股权。这项投资将使阿尔斯通在Cylus董事会中占有一席之地。该交易还包括一项战略合作协议，以建立商业合作伙伴关系，使两家公司能够结合各自的优势，为轨道交通市场提供一流的网络安全解决方案。

Cylus成立于2017年，总部位于以色列特拉维夫，致力于铁路（轨道交通）行业的网络安全解决方案。Cylus开发了一系列解决方案和服务，统称为CylusOne，用于保护铁路资产免受网络威胁。

阿尔斯通和Cylus一起将网络安全技术集成到铁路流程，组件和解决方案中。该技术将首先在特拉维夫城市轻轨系统中实现，每天可服务200,000名乘客。阿尔斯通此前曾获得2017年为特拉维夫红线提供信号系统的合同。

通过这项协议，两家公司将联手确保铁路（轨道交通）行业具备应对全球网络安全挑战的能力。该伙伴关系将增强现有铁路系统的网络安全能力，并促进为移动性而设计的网络安全解决方案的持续开发，以确保对运营商需求的快速而灵活的响应。

此举将巩固阿尔斯通在网络安全中的地位。可连接性，物联网和大数据的扩展要求采取新措施来保护运输系统。为应对这一挑战，阿尔斯通将与Cylus一道将为交通领域创建新的网络安全标准。

CylusOne是第一个从头开始设计的，旨在满足铁路和地铁环境独特多样性和复杂性的网络安全解决方案。它旨在集成到干线和城市网络中，并且与CBTC以及ETCS兼容-在两种情况下都可以最大限度地提高性能，容量和可用性。该技术使用机器学习来加快对恶意软件和恶意行为的检测。一旦发现威胁并有效处理响应，该系统就会利用人工智能来确定行为。CylusOne通过列控系统网络，通信网络以及轨旁和车载系统检测网络威胁，从而促进及时有效的响应。

Alstom invests in railway cybersecurity specialist Cylus and signs strategic cooperation agreement

9 December 2020– Alstom has finalised a deal to invest US$7 million in Cylus, an Israel-based cybersecurity specialist, thus acquiring a minority stake in the company. The investment will give Alstom one seat on the board of Cylus. The deal also includes a strategic cooperation agreement to build a commercial partnership allowing the companies to combine their respective strengths and provide best-in-class cybersecurity solutions for the rail market.

Cylus, based in Tel Aviv (Israel) and founded in 2017, is specialised in cybersecurity solutions for the railway sector. Cylus has developed a portfolio of solutions and services, collectively named CylusOne, for the protection of railway assets against cyber threats.

Together, Alstom and Cylus will integrate cybersecurity technology into railway processes, components, and solutions. The technology will be implemented first in the Tel Aviv metropolitan light rail system with a capacity of 200,000 passengers a day. Alstom previously won a contract to supply the signalling and train control systems for the Tel Aviv Red Line tramway in 2017.

With this agreement, the companies are joining forces to ensure that the rail industry is equipped to tackle cybersecurity challenges all over the world. The partnership will enhance existing rail systems’ cybersecurity capabilities and boost the ongoing development of cybersecurity solutions designed for mobility, to ensure a rapid and resilient response to operator demands.

“Alstom is reinforcing its position in cybersecurity by making sure that it is at the core of all our systems. The expansion of connectivity, the Internet of Things and Big Data require new measures to protect transport systems. In response to this challenge, we are sure that the partnership with Cylus will create new cybersecurity standards for the mobility sector,” says Eddy Thésée, Vice President of Cybersecurity at Alstom.

“The rail industry increasingly requires cybersecurity solutions for its particular needs. As a pure rail-cybersecurity company, we are proud to cooperate with Alstom, the world leader for innovative rail solutions, to help rail companies protect themselves against growing cyber threats. We are convinced that the partnership will drive the rail industry towards a cyber-safe future," says Amir Levintal, CEO of Cylus.

CylusOne is the first cybersecurity solution designed from scratch for the unique diversity and complexity of rail and metro environments. It is designed to be integrated into both mainline and urban networks and is compatible with communication-based train control (CBTC), as well as the European Train Control System (ETCS) – in both cases maximizing performance, capacity and availability. The technology uses machine learning to speed up detection of malware and malicious behaviour. The system employs artificial intelligence to determine the behaviour once a threat is identified and effectively handle the response. CylusOne detects cyber threats over signalling and control networks, communications networks and trackside and onboard systems, facilitating a timely and effective response.
