**CYBERTECH Trucking Industry Cyber Security User Guide

TSA and Surface Transportation Systems Sector (TSS) industry partners collaboration

Addresses common cyber threats and protection strategies for company data, computer systems, vehicle fleets, and personal information.
Emphasizes a comprehensive trucking operation cybersecurity approach encompassing both IT and operational technology.
Provides detailed information on the safe use of Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Electronic logging devices (ELD), fleet management systems, mobile technology and social networks.

Cyber-attacks involve unauthorized access attempts to computers, computing systems/networks with the intent to cause damage.

Transportation and logistics sector, including Aeets, is increasingly targeted by cybercriminals due to rapid digitization.
Cybersecurity is a crucial aspect of safeguarding assets, employees, passengers, cargo, and customers.
Cybersecurity involves preventing, detecting, and responding to attacks to protect critical industry information resources.’

Cybersecurity Importance

Cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure, exploiting vulnerabilities and adapting to security measures.
Growing threat due to remote and anonymous connectivity and ability to cause physical consequences virtually.

Cybersecurity Trucking Industry Threats

Hackers target trucking companies for various reasons, including:

Accessing financial data, GPS tracking, customer information, credit cards, and personal info for illicit purposes.
Using trucks as weapons and stealing the contents of truck payloads.

Cybersecurity Challenges: Heavy Duty Fleets/Trucks

Satellite/Cellular communications links heavy-duty trucks to telematics, fleet management, engine management apps, and Bluetooth.
The above, along with smart devices connected to commercial vehicles, makes them vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
Internal interconnected systems in heavy-duty vehicles are a significant cyber threat target
Commercial vehicle fleets with similar electronic configurations can be targeted by adversaries to develop exploits that attack multiple vehicles at once.

Fleet management systems pose multiple cybersecurity risks, including data storage, applications, and endpoint devices.
Telematics involves technologies used by fleets to share data between vehicles and control centers
In-Vehicle Networks/CAN, GPS Tracking, TPMS, Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs), Bluetooth
