• Description:
  This document reviews and applies existing transportation cybersecurity best practices from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and other organizations to heavy vehicles. The focus is on telematics and aftermarket devices, as they are a common attack vector, and requirements for electronic logging devices (ELDs) in the United States have increased the rate at which such devices are being deployed. There are two primary focus areas in this document: policy and procedure recommendations and technical recommendations. This document is intended for use by truck/bus manufacturers, telematics service providers (TSPs), motor carriers, heavy truck dealers/installers, fleet managers, mechanics, drivers, and Government regulators. This document may also be useful to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) who build tractors, trailers, engines, and other systems for trucks, as it will help them consider how their systems might be accessed, legitimately or maliciously. Finally, Federal, State, and local governments can use the document as a “best practices” guide when considering cybersecurity risks associated with deployment of telematics devices.
