This Cybersecurity for Connected ITS Infrastructure Resource Guide is intended to be used as an ITS cybersecurity guide and to further assist professionals in the ITS industry to secure our digital infrastructure. This document is relevant for cyber-informed ITS practitioners, state, and local department of transportation (DOT) staff, and ITS America stakeholders. The paper was authored and reviewed by members of the ITS America Cybersecurity Community of Practice (COP).

Providing detailed information on how to secure all connected ITS infrastructure is a task worthy of a large technical book with annual revisions, and we encourage all ITS America members interested in this topic to utilize this guide as just a starting point in their journey in how to secure our digital infrastructure. This guide is a sampling of the most common ITS cybersecurity topics and current resources for additional exploration by the reader.

Let’s Transform the Future Together.

Technology evolves faster than we can imagine the future. Rapidly evolving transportation innovations are being developed and deployed that promise to entirely reshape the way our transportation network operates, facilitating vast improvements to transportation safety and overall mobility. The promise of these innovations is apparent, but the deployment and application of these technologies is not without challenges. While technology disrupts the transportation ecosystem with new innovations and ideas, government, communities, private companies, and researchers must race to catch up to and contend with ideas never thought possible. How do we accelerate change and safely embrace new technology while promoting collaboration across industry to advance shared societal goals? Through nonprofits like the Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America).

ITS America and its members have been at the center of these innovations, advocating for transformational technology to save lives, promote sustainability, and improve access to mobility.

Join us.
