AI-native cybersecurity for India’s next generation of Smart Railways
By Srinivas Shekar, Co-founder and CEO, Pantherun Technologies
India’s railway network is becoming increasingly connected. Modern signalling systems, predictive maintenance platforms, intelligent surveillance, connected stations, and real-time passenger services are steadily changing how railway operations are managed. As this transformation continues, cybersecurity is becoming an increasingly important part of keeping these systems safe and reliable.
Every connected device, communication gateway, and operational system creates another point of interaction across the railway network. While these technologies improve efficiency, visibility, and passenger experience, they also introduce new security considerations that cannot be overlooked.
For many years, railway cybersecurity largely focused on protecting traditional IT systems. That approach was generally sufficient when Operational Technology (OT) environments remained isolated from external networks. Today, those environments are far more connected, and the way they are secured must evolve accordingly.
A Changing Threat Landscape
Cyber threats targeting critical infrastructure are becoming more sophisticated. Artificial intelligence is...
