Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) require harmonization among manufacturers to have any chance of succeeding in the real world. No large-scale car manufacturer, multimodal shipper, or MaaS (Mobility as a Service) provider will risk investing in a single-vendor solution. Successful ITS require interoperable components, especially for managing cybersecurity issues. See https://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/us/security/news/intelligent-transportation-systems for a set of reports…

Industrial IoT (IIoT) devices will comprise the majority of the billions of IoT devices deployed over the next decade. How will the information security market meet this onslaught of technology? The consumer market is not a useful guide for this analysis. Consumers buy in small quantities and choose to deploy information security tools piecemeal. Few…

This last week of National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM), we focus on critical infrastructure (CI). For many years now we have discussed and seen the result of poorly designed and protected control system networks. I wrote on this very topic back in 2016. Now the threat landscape has evolved further and the attack surface…

Connected cars and autonomous vehicles are getting all the headlines these days, especially when it comes to cybersecurity concerns. But that’s only half of the story. An under-reported but hugely important piece of the puzzle relates to the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) needed to create truly smart cities. Governments around the world, including the US,…

As cities continue to grow smarter, they will also become easier to hack. With millions (if not billions) of dollars going into research for urban domains and the Internet of Things (IoT), there will be more opportunities to utilize technology to define, access and improve smart city services and infrastructure. In these smart cities, information…

The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the way we live and work forever. It makes us more productive, healthier and happier, and it enables businesses to work smarter, more efficiently and with greater agility. There’s just one problem: from a security perspective IoT devices are fundamentally flawed. And the bad guys are getting pretty…
