For cybersecurity professionals working specifically in transport or travel sectors — where networks are distributed, highly mobile, time-sensitive and often critical to safety — these are some of the most relevant cybersecurity solutions:

1. Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) and Operational Technology (OT) Security
Transport (aviation, rail, shipping, road networks) often relies on industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology that must be shielded from cyber-physical attacks.
Technologies to explore:

• ICS/SCADA security solutions 
• Network segmentation for OT 
• Asset visibility and monitoring platforms 

Check out exhibitors with OT Security solutions here.

2. Supply Chain Security
Both travel and transport depend heavily on third-party providers (hardware, software, logistics), making supply chain compromise a major risk. 
Technologies to explore:

• Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) validation tools 
• Vendor risk management platforms 
• Hardware authenticity verification

Check out exhibitors with Supply Chain Security solutions here.

3. Mobile and Endpoint Security
In travel and transport, employees and devices (drivers, pilots, crew, passengers) are highly mobile — making endpoint and mobile device protection critical.
Technologies to explore:

• Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) 
• Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) 
• Secure device management (MDM, EDR, XDR) 

Check out exhibitors with Mobile and Endpoint Security solutions here.

4. Incident Response and Threat Intelligence
Swift response is essential for minimizing downtime in transport systems (e.g., airports, railway systems), and threat intel helps detect sector-specific threats early.
Technologies to explore:

• Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) 
• Threat Intelligence Platforms (TIPs) 
• Digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) tools 

Check out exhibitors with Incident Response and Threat Intelligence solutions here.

5. Identity and Access Management (IAM) & Secure Access Controls
Travel systems often involve high-volume, high-sensitivity data (passenger records, cargo data) — meaning strong identity protection (for staff, passengers, and systems) is vital.
Technologies to explore:

• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) 
• Privileged Access Management (PAM) 
• Identity Governance solutions

Check out exhibitors with Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions here.

These organisations represent some of the biggest innovators in travel and transport cybersecurity and bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the event.

By attending the recommended sessions, exploring cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions, and engaging with top exhibitors, you will leave Infosecurity Europe equipped with practical insights to tackle today’s evolving challenges!
