About the episode
In this episode of Safety Matters in Motion, we explore the growing cybersecurity risks facing public transportation systems and what agencies can do to protect themselves. As smart city infrastructure evolves, transit networks increasingly rely on connected devices and analytics — opening new doors for potential cyber threats. This episode outlines five best practices for securing transit operations, including designing segmented, resilient networks; protecting every connected device with encryption and firewalls; choosing technology partners with strict security protocols; and collaborating to shape evolving industry standards. With cyberattacks becoming more sophisticated, transit agencies must prioritize cybersecurity as a core part of operations to ensure safe, uninterrupted service and protect public trust.
