Transportation systems are becoming increasingly complex and integrated systems, ones that incorporate numerous intricate control systems and sub-systems that work in tandem. The deepened use of communications and information technology has increased the efficiency and functionality of transportation systems. With this expanded functionality, however, comes a corresponding increase in potential vulnerabilities to transportation technologies. To ensure the safety of the traveling public, transportation agencies will need to learn about cyber security issues and how to develop and implement solid cyber security programs. This T3 Webinar will introduce the issues and concerns related to today's connected transportation environment and lay out best practices to help mitigate some of the potential vulnerabilities. The webinar will be hosted by Michael Dinning of the US DOT John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center.
This webinar is planned to be the first in a series of webinars aimed at addressing the growing tide of cyber security issues related to the transportation sector. Future sessions will focus on particular transportation modes, case studies, and insight for what is being done in those sectors to remediate issues now, and in the future.
