The importance of securing transportation systems and data from cyber attacks and ensuring that privacy is protected.
Network Security: The protection of networks from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification or destruction.
Risk Assessment: Process of identifying, analyzing and evaluating risks, and developing strategies to manage them.
Threat Intelligence: Understanding and analyzing the tactics, techniques, and procedures used by attackers to identify potential threats.
Cryptography: The art of protecting information by transforming it into an unreadable format in order to maintain its confidentiality and integrity.
Access Control: The practice of limiting or restricting access to information or resources within a system.
Incident Response: The process of identifying, analyzing, and managing a security incident in order to minimize the impact and restore normal operations.
Malware Analysis: The process of analyzing and dissecting malware to understand its behavior and purpose.
Cyber Forensics: The use of forensic techniques to investigate and analyze cyber-attacks to gather evidence to hold perpetrators accountable.
Cloud Security: The protection of data and applications hosted on cloud platforms, ensuring confidentiality, integrity and availability.
Vulnerability Assessment: The identification of vulnerabilities in systems, software or networks, and creating a plan of action to address them.
Wireless Security: The security of wireless networks, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular networks.
Physical Security: The protection of physical assets and resources including data centers, servers, and infrastructure.
Threat Modeling: The process of identifying potential threats and determining the likelihood and impact of those threats.
Social Engineering: The use of psychological manipulation techniques to trick people into divulging confidential information.
Application Security: The protection of software applications from external threats, using best practices such as secure coding practices and application security testing.
Endpoint Security: The protection of devices such as laptops, desktops, and mobile phones from malware, viruses, and data theft.
Privacy Protection: Ensuring that personal data is safeguarded from unauthorized access or disclosure.
Compliance: Ensuring that systems, processes and practices adhere to regulatory requirements and standards.
Security Operations: The monitoring, management and response to security events, incidents and alerts.
Security Policy and Governance: The development, implementation and management of policies and guidelines to ensure the security of an organization's information and assets.
Network security: This involves protecting the interconnected system of devices, systems, and communication channels that make up an intelligent transportation system (ITS) network.
Physical security: This involves protecting physical assets and systems, including servers, storage facilities, communication infrastructure, and transportation nodes.
Application security: This involves ensuring the security of software and applications that are part of an ITS, including web portals, messaging systems, and other applications that communicate with the network.
Information security: This involves ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive information, such as passenger data and payment information.
Cloud security: This involves securing data storage and processing in the cloud, including virtual servers and software as a service (SaaS) applications.
Mobile security: This involves securing mobile devices (e.g. smartphones, tablets) that are used by passengers or ITS personnel to access the network.
Industrial control systems (ICS) security: This involves securing the automated control systems that are used to manage transportation infrastructure, such as traffic lights, toll collection systems, and railway control systems.
IoT security: This involves securing the numerous IoT devices that are part of an ITS network, including sensors, cameras, and other devices that gather data and control traffic.
Identity and access management (IAM): This involves controlling user access to network resources, such as servers, databases, and other devices, to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.
Incident response: This involves responding to cyber threats, including identifying the source of the threat, mitigating its impact, and restoring normal network operations.
