The TSA has failed to act on four out of six cybersecurity recommendations made by the GAO in 2018, highlighting neglect in critical transportation security.
According to GAO's report, 'in January 2024, GAO reported that ransomware was having increasingly devastating impacts in the sector and found that the TSA's security directives did not align with ransomware leading practices.'
The TSA is urged to adopt leading cybersecurity practices to mitigate risks, as 'state security agencies in the UK and US warned of threats from state-affiliated hacking groups disrupting critical infrastructure.'
With the TSA responsible for securing vital transportation infrastructure, the GAO's recommendations emphasize the urgent need for improved cybersecurity measures to protect against rising threats.
