Join us on Thursday, March 13, 2025, at 1:00 pm ET as the NMFTA cybersecurity team discusses the NMFTA Cybersecurity Guidebook: Mid-Sized Fleets.
Description
This month, we bring you the third installment in our roadmap to resilience series, targeted at mid-sized fleets (50 – 1000 power units). Given that there is a significant range in both the size and the complexity of fleets in this size bracket, and that specific cybersecurity needs will vary from organization to organization, we have created this guidance in a way that will allow fleet owners and security personnel to easily tailor their use of this document to their organization’s specific requirements.
While our previous releases focused primarily on enterprise cybersecurity best practices (commonly referred to as the “back office”), this more advanced guidance will begin to incorporate technical controls and governance practices specific to maintenance operations and the cybersecurity aspects of the physical vehicles themselves, both power units and all types of trailers.
Learning Outcomes
By attending this webinar, you will:
- Build on foundational enterprise cybersecurity best practices to address operational and vehicle-specific challenges.
- Explore advanced cybersecurity measures for physical vehicles.
