Cybersecurity covers physical security, network security and data protection. If operating systems are hacked, this can cause disruption to networks or even damage to infrastructure and people, as well as brand damage. Operational technologies and information technologies often share physical environments, opening up numerous attack avenues through the wifi and infotainment system, the CCTV or passenger information system, to name but a few. Transport companies have to have resilient cybersecurity systems in place so they can protect their assets and detect and respond to incidents appropriately. This section covers suppliers who provide cybersecurity solutions as well as the latest cybersecurity news in the bus sector.
