ACCORDING TO A STUDY BY THE UNIVERSIty of Maryland, a cyberattack happens every 39 seconds, often preventable attacks when the correct measures are in place. As mass transit systems become more IP enabled and connected to the internet, these attacks are on the rise. Transportation relates to more than just moving people. With COVID-19, transportation services were increasingly relied upon for delivering everything from food, medicine and other vital services. COVID-19 also forced companies to pivot to remote work and a culture of working from anywhere. This transition required remote worker access to critical company computing systems via Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and internet of things (IoT) portals, which opened up an array of gateways for hacking incidents to occur. |
