Abstract

For many countries the physical transport infrastructure is critical to the economy, with ports forming a gateway for the majority of trade, and rail and road used to distribute goods. Airlines are crucial to the tourism industry. Whilst the focus of cyber-defense is on financial networks and the power grid, recent incidents illustrate that the transport infrastructure is also susceptible to cyber-attacks. The chapter provides an overview of cyber-security incidents related to the transportation sector, and analyses the reports of the incidents to illustrate the prevalence of threat types and impact. The chapter then discusses some efforts to mitigate the threats in terms of regulations, threat intelligence and information sharing, and awareness training.
