"Go-Ahead Cyberattack Might Derail UK Public Transport Services"

The Go-Ahead Group, one of the UK's largest public transport operators, has experienced a cyberattack. The Go-Ahead Group, which connects people via its bus and rail networks, announced that it was managing a cyber security incident after unauthorized activity was discovered on its network. This type of cyberattack on the UK's transportation system is not uncommon, as hackers have long targeted the airline industry. The cyberattacks are designed to disrupt travel and steal large amounts of sensitive customer and employee data. Transportation companies must constantly be on the lookout for these types of attacks to remain operational. Transportation operators can only respond with lightning speed and avoid missing an attack by implementing an autonomous response to cybersecurity. A zero-trust approach also enables IT teams to continuously verify and assess risk, allowing them to detect and counter cyberattacks before they enter an organization's ecosystem. This is made easier when context, such as device, network location, and geolocation, is used to gain complete control over user access. This comprehensive view will provide train operators with early warning of an impending attack. This article continues to discuss the cyberattack on the Go-Ahead Group and what organizations should do to avoid such attacks.
