Tel Aviv, Jul 16 (IANS): Israel has developed a cybersecurity center to protect its railway system, media reports said on Sunday.

The security center is created by Rafael, an Israeli government-owned defence technology company, Xinhua reported, quoting local media reports.

The company will provide Israel Railways corporation with a cybersecurity operations center (CSOC) located in the city of Lod in central Israel.

The CSOC, worth $8.25 million, will be operated by Israel Railways' cyber unit.
