How it fits

Procurement, configuration, updates, monitoring and recovery all affect operational resilience.

Operations

Transport Canada has dedicated ITS cybersecurity work for road infrastructure owners and operators.

Canadian context

A cyber incident can become a transportation-service problem when digital systems are unavailable or untrusted.

Limits and lifecycle

Security is a lifecycle responsibility, not a one-time product purchase.

General infrastructure education only. Active road incidents, vehicle recovery and technical road work should follow responsible authorities and qualified professionals.
