The Smart Highway: Unveiling the Security Blueprint

In this white paper, we explore the transformative future of transportation through smart highways, which merge cutting-edge technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), connected vehicles, and real-time data analytics. While these innovations promise safer, smoother, and more sustainable roads, they also introduce complex security challenges. As the infrastructure becomes more interconnected, the risk of cyberattacks, physical breaches, and privacy violations grows.

Drawing from decades of experience in safeguarding critical infrastructure, this paper delves into the emerging threats, security risks, and solutions for securing these intelligent roadways. It emphasizes the importance of embedding security from the outset, using examples from leading countries in smart highway development. We will explore the interconnected components of smart highways, from traffic management systems and IoT networks to the vehicles and sensors that work together in real-time. « Contribution spéciale » de Gaetan.
