Overview

November 15

Emerging technologies and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors are ushering in a new era for transportation – and increasing concerns about cybersecurity and data privacy.

As our transit networks become increasingly data-rich environments – with hundreds of thousands (or millions) of connected sensors and endpoints – it becomes crucial to secure data at the point of production. And protecting personally identifiable information in DMVs and from connected vehicle sensors will be vital.

Our conversation will include a number of key topics such as:

What a deployed security strategy looks like for transportation departments
How to evolve your incident response plans to meet evolving needs
What you can do now to improve cybersecurity in the future
