Securing Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS): Firewalls, Intrusion Detection, and Zero Trust

As Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) become more connected through cloud platforms, video analytics, remote access, and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications, they face increasing cybersecurity threats. Transportation agencies must protect critical operations from ransomware, unauthorized access, lateral movement, and attacks originating from both enterprise IT networks and field-connected devices.
This webinar explores how modern cybersecurity technologies, including industrial firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), network segmentation, and Zero Trust architectures, help secure Operational Technology (OT) environments while maintaining the reliability and safety of transportation infrastructure.
Attendees will learn how to apply defense-in-depth strategies across both highway and traffic signal networks, traffic management centers, DMS, video surveillance systems, tolling infrastructure, and roadside enclosures. Real-world examples will demonstrate how to improve visibility, control communications, reduce cyber risk, and support compliance requirements.
Participants will learn:
- How cybersecurity requirements differ between traditional IT and transportation OT environments.
- Practical approaches for designing resilient ITS networks using firewalls, Zero Trust principles, intrusion detection, and network segmentation.
- Real-world strategies for reducing the impact of cyberattacks while maintaining operational reliability.
