The accelerating digital transformation of transportation systems and the increasing risk and sophistication of cyber threats requires a better understanding of the emerging cyber trends and lessons learned from new cybersecurity practices. TRB hosted a webinar on Thursday, November 17, 2022 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM Eastern that examined next-generation practices that may minimize vulnerabilities, defend against attacks, and rapidly recover and restore agency services and internal operations. Presenters provided an overview of current cybersecurity practices in transportation and introduce several approaches to improve cyber resilience.

This webinar is based on TRCP Synthesis 158: Cybersecurity in Transit Systems.

This webinar was sponsored by TRB’s Transit Cooperative Research Program.
