The CSOC will serve as a nerve center for threat assessment, risk mitigation, and incident response, ensuring the security of critical railway systems, including passenger reservation platforms, freight operations, and communication networks. Given the increasing digitization of railway operations, cyber security has become a top priority for Indian Railways.
Leading tech firms such as Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Bharti Airtel, and Larsen & Toubro (L&T) have emerged as key players in the technical qualification round of the tender process.
