Cybersecurity Concerns for Transit

In December 2020, the United States experienced its worst cyber-attack in reported history. Recent cyber incidents on public transit agencies in North America highlight the escalating risk of ransomware and attacks on our infrastructure and operations.

This Session will raise awareness and provide information that transit employees need to protect their organizations and passengers.
