The Biden administration has released a directive requiring freight railroad owners and operators to tighten their security in the face of hacking threats from criminals and foreign governments
It’s the latest move by US officials to use their policy authorities to try to boost cybersecurity in key sectors following the damaging ransomware attack on a major pipeline last year. The new directive from the Transportation Security Administration requires rail companies to report hacking incidents to the Department of Homeland Security, and to have a plan to keep a cybersecurity incident from hampering their operations.
In July, the TSA issued updated cybersecurity requirements for big US pipeline operators that give them more flexibility over the defensive measures they take. The revision came after criticism from the oil and gas industry claiming that the TSA’s initial requirements were too rigid and unrealistic. The directive focuses on achieving key cybersecurity outcomes rather than dictating to pipelines how to achieve them.
