Presentation
Cyber policy in an evolving threat landscape
The imminent and constantly evolving potential for cyberattacks against transportation infrastructure requires continued vigilance, information sharing and the development of dynamic policies and capabilities to strengthen our cybersecurity posture. Cybersecurity, in particular, remains a key area of concern for us as the scope of this issue has grown tremendously over TSA’s 20-year history. The presentation will provide insight into how a government agency conducts the shift and engages with industry, and will share best practices and lessons learned from this journey.
