Case Study: Largest Regional Transportation Agency achieves 75,000-device protection and 24/7 network resilience with Trustwave

Largest Regional Transportation Agency - Customer Case Study

Largest Regional Transportation Agency faced a massive cybersecurity challenge: securing a transit network that serves more than two billion riders annually and spans a 5,000-mile area across two states, with 75,000 separate devices and more than 400 sites—including stations with extreme temperatures, vibration and 24/7 operations. To address these invisible threats the agency worked with Trustwave, deploying centralized network access control (NAC) solutions to manage and enforce device security policies.

Trustwave implemented automated, centralized NAC and ruggedized security appliances to continuously monitor tens of thousands of endpoints, immediately identify and quarantine noncompliant devices, and withstand harsh transit environments. The solution gave the agency proactive, 24/7 protection for 75,000 devices across 400+ sites—helping reduce the risk of disruptive incidents (such as ransomware that previously crashed a ticketing system) and safeguarding the five million-plus daily riders who depend on the system.
