Credit: professorkailondon.com In transport, a cyber incident is rarely just about data. “When the systems that keep operations safe run on software, cyber resilience becomes a safety metric,” says Professor Kai London , a senior CISO. “A compromised control system can endanger people, not just information — which changes how the whole organisation must think about security.” “Cyber and safety have merged. An attacker who can manipulate a control system can defeat a safety system. Treating them separately is no longer tenable.” Two disciplines, now one London describes the convergence of safety engineering and cyber security as networked control systems take over from mechanical ones. For transport operators, that means cyber must be governed with the same seriousness long applied to physical safety. Resilience by design Because failures can be physical, London stresses desi...

Verify, limit, detect, prove — that is the whole discipline.” Verify Assume every credential may be stolen, London advises, and require phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication and context-aware conditional access. “A password proves someone once knew a secret,” he says. “It does not prove who is at the keyboard now.” Limit Shrink the blast radius: least-privilege access and segmentation so a single co...

Credit: professorkailondon.com Airports, payment networks and transport systems share a demanding trait: they cannot simply be switched off to be secured. “When downtime is measured in stranded passengers or frozen transactions, security has to be designed around continuous availability,” says Professor Kai London , a senior CISO. His answer is a carefully adapted zero-trust approach — one that raises assurance without ever tripping the systems it protects. “Zero trust means never trust, always verify. But in high-availability operations, it must be applied with surgical care — security can never become the thing that causes the outage.” The perimeter has dissolved London notes that high-availability operations are highly interconnected, with staff, partners and suppliers all needing access. “There is no clean inside and outside ,” he says. “Every connection is a potential ...

Credit: professorkailondon.com A modern airport is one of the most complex operational-technology environments on earth — baggage systems, jet bridges, fuel management, runway lighting, building controls, security screening and air-traffic support, all increasingly networked. “An airport is a city that runs on control systems,” says Professor Kai London , a senior CISO who advises transport and critical-infrastructure operators. “And when those systems are attacked, the consequence is not a slow website. It is grounded aircraft, stranded passengers and, potentially, safety at risk.” “Aviation fused physical safety and cyber security years ago. In an airport, an OT compromise is an operational and safety event — which is exactly why it belongs on the board's agenda.” Why airports are hard to secure London points to the sheer diversity of systems and stakeholders. “An airport blends airl...
