Check out my latest column on the TSA’s upcoming cybersecurity directives on rail transport and aviation organizations.
At the Billing Cybersecurity Summit, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced that the Transportation Safety Administration would issue new cybersecurity directives that introduce regulations for rail transport and aviation operators.
