Abstract

The transit Cybersecurity Framework Community Profile is a Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) Community Profile developed to support United States-based transit agencies. This "Transit Profile" is aligned with transit sector priorities and best practices and can be used as a guide for prioritizing cybersecurity activities and outcomes or as a starting point for building a new program. The Transit Profile was developed to complement, not replace, any existing cybersecurity programs, guidelines, or policies that transit agencies may rely on or have in place.
