• Abstract:
  Heavy vehicles such as commercial trucks and buses are critical to the Nation’s economic security. Due to several highly publicized cyber-attacks on vehicles, cybersecurity in heavy vehicles has become a major concern for the industry. The Heavy Truck Telematics: Cybersecurity Best Practices document reviews existing cybersecurity best practices from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and other organizations and applies them to heavy vehicles. The goal of this project was to develop a set of best practices and guidelines focused on minimizing cyber risks for telematic units and other components specific to connected heavy trucks. There are two primary focus areas in this document: policy and procedure recommendations and technical recommendations. The primary risk addressed in the document is that of creating a bridge between the Internet—or other networks—and the networks inside the trucks
