Transportation professionals understand how important it is to take physical security seriously – especially given the scale of transportation infrastructure; the volume of travelers and transported goods; and risks such as accidents, crime, and even terrorism. That’s why the transportation industry invests so heavily in physical security devices.

The problem is that it’s common for those devices to be left inadequately managed. Not only can that leave the transportation industry vulnerable to physical threats, but it creates a danger that cybercriminals could hack into transportation-related physical security devices with relative ease.
