Chief executive leadership of transportation agencies have placed substantial emphasis on the protection of IT systems against cyber threats. Less focus has been devoted to the risks to operational technology (OT) and equipment or in protecting transportation business operations.
The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Web-Only Document 355: Cybersecurity Issues and Protection Strategies for State Transportation Agency CEOs seeks to mitigate that imbalance, especially as physical OT assets become increasingly connected through electronic networks and managed remotely by software. Volume 1, Project Summary Report provides details of the research project that developed the Transportation Cyber Risk Guide, which is found in NCHRP Web-Only Document 355: Cybersecurity Issues and Protection Strategies for State Transportation Agency CEOs, Volume 2.
Supplemental to the document is a presentation of an overview of the research.
