DRIVING CYBERSECURITY FORWARD IN THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION
With vehicles becoming more connected, cybersecurity threats are on the rise.
Hands-On Learning with the RAMN Board
CIS students are also developing their skills through hands-on training with the Resistant Automotive Miniature Network (RAMN) board and creating the first CTF challenge of its kind in the world. This educational tool simulates real-world vehicle systems, allowing students to test hacking and defense techniques in a controlled environment. CTF exercises using the RAMN board enhance the participant’s understanding of cyberattacks on vehicle networks and prepare them to implement effective security measures.
Our CIS students are actively working to secure cars, trucks, drones and other advanced air mobility vehicles from cyber- physical attacks that could disrupt safety and operations of computers that move. Tackling Automotive Cyber Threats CIS students have engaged with government and industry leaders at major events addressing cybersecurity challenges in transportation. At the Cyber Truck Challenge, students collaborated with experts to analyze vulnerabilities in freight trucks, recognizing the potential impact of compromised vehicles on supply chains. Similarly, the Cyber Auto Challenge provided insights into securing modern cars against threats targeting their interconnected systems. The Cyber Drone Challenge highlighted the emerging risks associated with uncrewed aerial systems (UAS), including signal jamming and identity spoofing.
Shaping the Future of Transportation Security
Through research, industry collaboration and practical training, the CIS department is equipping students with a unique expertise that enables them to address evolving cybersecurity threats in transportation. Their participation in cutting- edge projects ensures they are prepared to lead in securing the future of transportation technologies and critical infrastructure.
