FAQs
Common questions about securing transportation operational technology and critical infrastructure.

Transportation systems rely on industrial control systems that operate differently from IT networks. They require continuous operation for safety and can’t be patched like traditional IT systems. OT-specific threats target these unique operational requirements.

Dragos provides continuous monitoring, threat detection, and incident response specifically designed for transportation OT protocols. Our platform understands rail and maritime control systems to detect threats without disrupting operations.

Major threats include ransomware targeting operations, state-sponsored groups compromising control systems, and hacktivists exploiting internet-exposed devices. The BAUXITE threat group specifically targets transportation PLCs.

Properly implemented OT cybersecurity enhances rather than hinders performance. Dragos solutions provide visibility and protection without impacting critical operations, often improving efficiency through better asset management.

Focus on network segmentation between IT and OT, secure remote access controls, risk-based vulnerability management, and continuous network monitoring. Implement backup and recovery procedures tested for your specific operational environment.

Don’t wait for a cyber incident to impact your operations. Protect your passengers, cargo, and critical systems with proven OT cybersecurity solutions.
