Cybersecurity & UITP

Public transport networks are attacked not because they’re targeted, but because they’re vulnerable. And every automated system or piece of digital infrastructure, from ticketing to track signalling, is susceptible to a cyberattack which can have dire consequences.

Cybersecurity is not just a software issue – in fact, 85% of all breaches have a human factor. That makes training, awareness, and testing as much a part of cybersecurity as firewalls and anti-virus programmes.

To develop effective strategies and practical cybersecurity architecture, UITP brings together experts from across the world of public transport. Together, we share knowledge to make public transport more secure – digitally and physically.
