Homeland Security Today reports the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has created an Autonomous Ground Vehicle Security Guide that provides transportation systems sector partners with a framework to better understand cyber-physical threats related to autonomous vehicles (AVs) and recommended strategies to mitigate both enterprise- and asset-level security risks.
The website says the U.S. Department of Transportation estimates that more than 80 companies are currently testing AVs across 40 U.S. states and Washington, D.C., and more than half of states have introduced legislation to allow testing on public roads. However, while autonomous ground vehicle technology offers benefits to organizations and communities, there are also potential threat vectors to people and assets.
CISA says that as the cyber-physical systems (CPS) threat landscape continues to evolve, organizations will become increasingly vulnerable to attacks that can result in data breaches, supply chain disruptions, property damage, financial loss, injury, and loss of life.
