The High Level Risk Assessment of Security of Weight in Motion Systems

Abstract

The development of modern transport technologies, such as Intelligent Transport Systems, Internet of Things and Big Data solutions, entailed also new threats. One of the consequences of digitization and automation of transport processes is the identification and continuous increase of the telematics risk. To effectively eliminate the threats, it is necessary to conduct detailed analyzes which will provide an information about critical processes in the system, the current security level and the stocks of the most vulnerable components. In this paper the authors present a high-level risk analysis of IT systems on the example of weighing in motion system. The authors identified critical elements of the system based on assessment of their default ICT security level. In addition, the paper contains recommendations for changes to in the current security, which can significantly reduce the risk of attack for the presented system.
