Taming Cyber Risks

As advances are made in technology and connectivity, it is necessary for the transportation community to improve cybersecurity. Today’s transportation network involves a great deal of interconnected systems, using common commercial technologies such as Wi-Fi and Ethernet. While these technologies are inexpensive, they are vulnerable, due to being well-known. In recent years, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has established guidelines to secure transportation communication networks. FHWA has worked to increase awareness of cybersecurity issues for state and local departments of transportation. As new technologies develop, it is necessary for cybersecurity efforts to constantly improve as well.
