Cybersecurity Issues and Protection Strategies for State Transportation Agency CEOs: Volume 2, Transportation Cyber Risk Guide
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 2, Transportation Cyber Risk Guide consists of a high-level framework to assess cyber risk; identifies strategies for preparing for, preventing, and managing cyber incidents; and links transportation asset classification with cyber risk. Details of the research project that developed this guide are available in
NCHRP Web-Only Document 355: Cybersecurity Issues and Protection Strategies for State Transportation Agency CEOs, Volume 1: Project Summary Report.
Supplemental to the document is a
presentation of an overview of the research.
