Airtel wins contract to enhance cybersecurity for Indian Railways.

Airtel Business has been awarded a multi-year contract by the Indian Railway Security Operations Centre (IRSOC) to enhance cybersecurity for the Indian Railways, which operates over 13,000 trains and serves more than 20 million commuters daily. This initiative aims to protect critical data, including sensitive customer information and operational databases related to ticketing, train tracking, and freight management, amid escalating cyber threats. The establishment of a centralized Security Operations Centre will enable constant monitoring of railway assets and efficient response to cybersecurity incidents, as emphasized by Dilip Kumar of the Railway Board. Leveraging AI-driven technologies, the Airtel Secure platform will facilitate real-time visibility and rapid threat detection, achieving significant mean-time-to-detect metrics. The strategic partnership between Airtel and Indian Railways underscores the increasing importance of cybersecurity in safeguarding vital national assets, thereby ensuring seamless digital operations for millions of users while enhancing national security in an era marked by digital vulnerabilities. As India advances its digital infrastructure, such initiatives are crucial for maintaining the integrity and reliability of essential services.
