Threat landscape

Threats facing this sector today

Every security engagement is scoped based on the attack patterns that actually hit this sector — not a generic checklist.

Fleet-telemetry compromise

Attacks against telematics platforms, GPS, and fleet management systems that could alter routing or disable vehicles.

Signaling & OT attacks

Intrusions into rail signaling, air-traffic control support systems, and port OT networks.

Ransomware on logistics

Attacks that halt booking, scheduling, and cargo-tracking systems — with major downstream impact.

Passenger-data exposure

Breaches of booking platforms, loyalty programs, and payment systems exposing passenger personal data.

Vendor & integrator risk

Compromise of IT/OT integrators and third-party SaaS platforms used for operations.

Insider & physical access

Misuse of staff or contractor access to depots, control rooms, and onboard systems.
