Transportation Security Administration (TSA)’s Post

✈️🔒 On March 7th, 2023, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) released cybersecurity requirements for airport and airport operators. This #TechTalkTuesday explores the requirements contained within the directive, compares it to the older directive for freight and passenger railroads, and talks through a very brief overview of the complexity of aviation networks and the reliance on outside resources.

🚄 As the railway industry embraces digitalization, ensuring robust cybersecurity measures becomes imperative. Protecting critical infrastructure from cyber threats isn't just about safeguarding data; it's about ensuring passenger safety and operational efficiency. From ticketing systems to train control networks, every aspect of rail operations is vulnerable to potential attacks. Investing in cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions and fostering a culture of cyber resilience are paramount for the industry's future. Collaboration between stakeholders, including rail operators, cybersecurity experts, and government agencies, is essential to address evolving threats effectively. #RailCybersecurity #DigitalTransformation #TransportationSecurity" 🤺 "I'm really impressed with the quality of the speakers. So many influential people giving up their time to pass on what they've learned" - UK EU Delegate 🎟 Join us June 11/12th 2024 in Celebration Florida 🌏 https://lnkd.in/dPqd3nR #railcybersecurity #railways #railtechnology #railsafety #cybersecurity #transportsecurity

The aviation industry continues to be a prime target for cyber threats, with recent attacks taking down airport websites and pro-Russia hacker groups claiming responsibility. While flight operations were unaffected, these incidents exposed vulnerabilities that could have devastating consequences. In my latest article, I discuss the top cybersecurity trends and strategies aviation organizations should consider to safeguard critical data and systems: 📉 Beware of Cost-Cutting: Trimming cybersecurity budgets to manage economic pressures can leave gaping holes in defenses. Outsourcing key updates to experts can help keep bad actors at bay. 🔍 Threats from All Sides: Internal threats from negligent or malicious employees are a real concern. Continuous vulnerability assessments and red teaming exercises are crucial. 🚨 Ransomware Risks: This remains the most feared attack type, with the potential to cripple day-to-day airport operations. Over the past year, there was approximately one ransomware incident every other week across critical infrastructure sectors. 📉 Reducing Attack Surfaces: Aviation entities are consolidating tech stacks and reducing vendor relationships to minimize potential entry points for cyber attacks. While the industry is taking steps to reduce its attack surface, allocating resources wisely and proactively strengthening cybersecurity postures through internal and external expertise is key to achieving end-to-end visibility and protection.

Honored to have spoken and represented my home Cybersec Clinique at the SACAA National Aviation Conference on Cybersecurity and the aviation industry. Shared insights on bolstering data privacy, navigating regulations, and implementing robust business continuity plans. Emphasized the importance of procuring software that prioritizes safety by design. Let's ensure a secure future for aviation together. #AviationSecurity #Cybersecurity #DataPrivacy #Regulations #BusinessContinuity #SafetyByDesign

In a world full of military conflicts, protecting vessels and the entire maritime sector from Cyber terrorism and escalating cyber threats, is even more crucial. At Radiflow we listen to our clients about the specific challenges of the #Maritime sector and have continuously ensured we address them with a specific view to the multitude of regulations and guidelines which need to be met. 1) International Maritime Organization (IMO) Guidelines: The IMO has been working on developing guidelines for maritime cyber risk management. In 2017, the IMO adopted resolution MSC.428(98), which encourages shipping companies and vessel operators to address cybersecurity risks and implement measures to protect their assets. 2) International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code: The ISPS Code primarily focuses on the security of ships and port facilities against security threats, including cyber threats that could impact maritime operations. While not exclusively focused on cybersecurity, it does provide a framework for addressing security risks in the maritime sector. 3) European Union Network and Information Systems (NIS 2) Directive: The EU NIS 2 Directive requires certain critical infrastructure operators, including some in the maritime sector, to implement cybersecurity measures to ensure the security of their networks and information systems. This directive aims to enhance the overall cybersecurity posture across various sectors, including maritime. 4) US Coast Guard Maritime Cybersecurity Guidelines: The U.S. Coast Guard has issued guidelines for addressing cybersecurity risks in the maritime sector. These guidelines provide recommendations for identifying, protecting, detecting, responding to, and recovering from cyber incidents. 5) NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF): While not specific to maritime, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework offers a widely accepted set of guidelines for organizations to manage and reduce cybersecurity risks. Many maritime organizations might use this framework as a reference for building their cybersecurity strategies. 6) BIMCO Guidelines: The Baltic and International Maritime Council (BIMCO) has released guidelines to assist shipowners and operators in addressing cybersecurity risks. These guidelines provide practical advice on implementing cybersecurity measures. 7) Guidance for Maritime Cyber Security Systems: South Korea released its own guidelines in 2021 covering processes for protecting cyber assets by preventing, detecting, and responding to cyber attacks with a comprehensive system for maintaining a high cybersecurity level. 8) Maritime Cybersecurity in the Western Hemisphere: The Organization of American States (OAS) has developed an overview document to assist maritime stakeholders in the Western Hemisphere to understand maritime cyber risk and to lay out initial steps that maritime organizations can take to manage it, while highlighting best practices.  We are here for you!

The Air Canada and Air Europa cyber attacks of September 2023 show the vulnerabilities that the aviation industry is facing in Cybersecurity. Vulnerabilities are definitely changing the way to do business. Such challenges deal with the entire life cycle of any IT system or service. Therefore, we need to apply zero trust architecture in Cybersecurity aviation. Zero trust architecture should include: -authentication and segmentation of users and resources in a network - monitoring activity within the network - considering all requests as if they originated from an open network before verifying them -dynamic evaluation of all devices and users - use of a strategy based on real-time intelligence.

I have been observing the Crowdstrike update issue and the vulnerability of our aviation system in US as it relates to IT. In the 4th edition of Practical Aviation Security, coming out later this year, we dedicated additional time to research and discuss cybersecurity in detail. I am happy we took the extra effort. #crowdstrike #airportsecurity #avsec
