BCI Cyber Resilience SIG Webinar: Cyber Resilience in the Transportation Sector

A summary of the BCI white paper on securing Europe's railways, airports, ports and roads against a rising, geopolitically charged cyber threat. The backbone of the economy — now a hybrid battlefield: railways, airports, ports and road networks are no longer just physical assets — they are deeply interconnected digital ecosystems moving millions of people and billions of euros every day. IoT, AI, cloud and IT/OT convergence have transformed the sector's risk profile, making it a prime target for organised cybercrime and hostile state actors. Four major attack patterns dominate the sector: ransomware, DDoS & hacktivism, supply chain, and phishing & spoofing. A single breach can lead to multiple downstream failures. If corporate IT systems—such as email, identity, and network infrastructure—are compromised, it can severely impact operational technology (OT) systems that were never directly breached. This is because both environments share authentication and communication layers. If these internal interdependencies are overlooked, recovery efforts can be significantly delayed.
