MINNEAPOLIS, MN, August 1, 2024 – Digi International (NASDAQ: DGII, www.digi.com), a leading global provider of Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity products and services, today announced a groundbreaking collaboration with Cylus, the global leader in rail cybersecurity. Bringing together the latest innovation from two industry leaders, the new strategic alliance integrates Cylus’s advanced cybersecurity solution, CylusOne, into the popular and advanced Digi TX64 5G Rail cellular router solution — delivering an unprecedented 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.
