6 Ways to Secure Access Connectivity for Intelligent Roadways
Intelligent roadways are the way of the future. Give this white paper a read to discover how you can enable intelligent roadway technology while maintaining a strong cybersecurity posture.
What is the importance of securing access connectivity for roadway devices?
Securing access connectivity for roadway devices is essential because these devices are integral to the operation of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), which aim to enhance road safety, reduce congestion, and minimize environmental impact. With the rise of Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS), the cybersecurity of these communications becomes critical as the digitization of transport systems increases vulnerability to cyber-attacks.
How can network segmentation enhance cybersecurity for roadway systems?
Network segmentation helps limit the exposure of roadway devices by isolating groups that do not need to communicate with each other. This approach minimizes the potential impact of a breach, akin to watertight compartments on a ship. By using techniques like VLANs and software-defined networking, organizations can create a more secure environment for their ITS devices.
What role does Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) play in roadway device security?
Implementing Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) enhances security by ensuring that user credentials are verified, specific administrative functions are authorized, and an audit trail of actions is maintained. This process helps prevent unauthorized access and provides accountability for actions taken on network devices, thereby strengthening the overall cybersecurity posture of roadway systems.
