Monitor. Decide. Record.
Supervise your fleet and support your train crews with CCTV. Use live video streams from your trains to make rapid, informed decisions. And if anything goes wrong, alert security staff in seconds and minimize disruptions to your operations.
Key features
- Video including pre- and post-alarm recordings, in strict compliance with your country’s data protection laws
- Up to 4 simultaneous live video streams to the wayside operations center per train, transmitted in high definition
- Operation via remote control or touch display
- Embedded video metadata enables fast searching and efficient analysis
- Activate and deactivate recording depending on train mode
Benefits
- Monitor from the wayside what is currently happening on your trains and watch live videos from specific coaches and cameras
- See what happened right before and just after an alarm was triggered – e.g. activation of the emergency brake
- Protect parked trains with peripheral monitoring and intrusion detection
- Stay in compliance with data protection laws, as your CCTV system automatically adapts to the train’s operating mode – for example, by turning off the recording when the trains are being cleaned

Certified cybersecurity for trains
The Security Gateway is a next-generation firewall (NGFW) that separates the Train Control Network (TCN) from the Train Operator Network (TON). It restrictively filters and monitors the communication between both networks and guarantees that the safety critical services and functions in the TCN cannot be disturbed by malfunctions in the TON or threats originating from the TON.
Key features
- Application Layer Gateway: Application-level filtering of communication using Deep Packet Inspection
- Intrusion Detection and Prevention System: In-line monitoring of communication for attack patterns, for alerting and the ability to drop packets in-line
- Secure, certificate-based service access to the TCN based on reverse authentication proxy technology for HTTPS-based service and OpenVPN for other service tools
- Security logging, with export possibility (compliant with IEC 62443-4-2)
- Seamless integration with on-train IT systems including software update and diagnostics mechanisms
- Can be deployed redundantly for maximum availability, and retrofitted into existing vehicles
Customer Benefits
- Network and application-level separation of the TCN from the TON allows efficient security management of threats and risks
- It also makes it possible to deploy frequent updates to TON systems without impacting safety and therefore eases homologation
- SMO Rolling Stock supports operators in fulfilling their legal obligations regarding cybersecurity. The Security Gateway is developed by SMO Rolling Stock using a secure development process. Both the process and the device are certified by TÃœV SÃœD according to IEC 62443-4-1 & 4-2
- Intrusion detection and security logging enable the vehicle’s integration into the operator’s cybersecurity monitoring solution
- Ability to enforce security policies depending on the state of the train, e.g., by allowing service access only in pre-defined train modes
- The Application Layer Gateway and Intrusion Prevention System reduce the attack surface of the TCNÂ and protect the TCN from attacks
- Easy and efficient maintenance thanks to full integration with on-train IT systems
Cybersecurity for rail
The faster digitization progresses, the more opportunities open up. But the many benefits of IT systems also come with an increased risk of cyber attacks. Protecting sensitive data and business processes against illicit access and attacks is more crucial than ever. That's why Siemens Mobility is committed to securing complex transport systems. We are with you all the way.
