Cybersecurity in the Transportation Industry

The movement of people and goods from one location to another has always been essential to human development and survival. People are now exploring new methods of carrying goods. Transportation infrastructure is critical to the growth of a global community that is more united and connected. The presented cybersecurity framework is an example of a risk-based method for managing cybersecurity risk. An organisation can find opportunities to strengthen and explain its management of cybersecurity risk by using its existing procedures and leveraging the framework. The framework can provide a foundation for businesses that do not currently have a formal cybersecurity program.

However, there is a strong temptation to give in when a transportation company is facing a loss of millions of dollars and the disruption of the worldwide supply chain. Automobile production, sales, trucking, and shipping are high-value industries for transportation enterprises. Scammers know that these corporations stand to lose much more in terms of corporate revenue and reputation than even the highest ransom demands, making them appealing targets for their schemes.

This book will address the increasing risk of cyberattacks and offer solutions and insight on the safety and security of passengers, cargo, and transportation infrastructure to enhance the security concepts of communication systems and the dynamic vendor ecosystem.
