Information security in transport ICT systems

The article presents selected methods of accessing transmission media that threaten the security of transmitted information, as well as technical safeguards that can be applied in a transport facility. Design assumptions for building a secure interface between a corporate network and the Internet are presented, along with examples of solutions for small and large networks.ICT systems enable transport companies to achieve greater efficiency and optimize processes when performing services for customers and managing warehouses. They also allow for the integration of various systems, enabling data from a client’s system to be transmitted to an operator’s system, which reduces time and prevents errors. These technologies can support the management of transport assets and optimize vehicle routes. They can also improve the loading process and indicate how goods should be arranged in a vehicle. Shipment tracking systems allow customers to be informed online about the current location of their shipment.
Considering such a wide spectrum of applications, the information processed in ICT systems should be well protected. The remainder of the article focuses on selected methods of accessing transmission media, technical safeguards used in ICT systems, and possibilities for securing information in a transport facility.
