Transportation Cybersecurity

Keeping Transportation Systems Secure

Transportation systems are critical infrastructure that millions depend on daily. Cyberattacks on transportation networks can disrupt operations, compromise passenger safety, and impact economic activity. Transit agencies, rail operators, and transportation authorities must protect both IT systems and operational technology (OT) that control physical infrastructure.

Our team understands the unique challenges of securing transportation systems, from protecting passenger payment data to securing train control systems and traffic management infrastructure.

Key Security Priorities

Transit System Security

Protection of rail control systems, signaling, and passenger information displays from cyber threats.

Logistics & Supply Chain

Securing logistics systems, warehouse management, and supply chain operations from cyber attacks.

Payment Systems

PCI DSS compliance for fare collection systems, ticketing platforms, and payment processing.

Operational Technology (OT)

Securing SCADA systems, train control systems, and other OT infrastructure critical to operations.

Passenger Data Privacy

Protection of passenger information, travel patterns, and personal data collected through transit systems.

Network Security

Securing interconnected networks that support operations, passenger services, and administrative functions.

Our Approach

We work with transportation authorities to develop comprehensive security programs that protect both IT and OT systems:

Risk Assessment: Evaluation of IT and OT systems to identify vulnerabilities in transit operations and passenger services.
OT Security: Specialized security for operational technology including train control, signaling, and traffic management systems.
Compliance Management: PCI DSS compliance for payment systems and adherence to transportation-specific regulations.
Incident Response: Preparedness for cyber incidents that could disrupt transportation operations or compromise passenger safety.
Security Architecture: Design of segmented networks and security controls that protect critical operations while enabling passenger services.

Regulatory Compliance

Transportation organizations must comply with various security requirements:

PCI DSS

Payment card security for fare collection and ticketing systems

TSA Security

Transportation Security Administration cybersecurity requirements

State Regulations

State-specific cybersecurity requirements for transit authorities

Privacy Laws

Protection of passenger data and travel information
