Defend the Railroad Cyber Security Collaborative Returns

Defend The Railroad is a mission-driven initiative led by TAC to strengthen cybersecurity across our nation’s rail systems.

This year we are in partnership with Cylus, Amtrak, Association of American Railroads (AAR), and American Short Rail and Regional Rail Association (ASLRRA).

As digital threats to critical infrastructure continue to grow, this collaborative brings together government, cybersecurity experts, rail operators, researchers, and industry leaders to protect one of our most vital transportation lifelines.

Through hands-on collaboration, real-world threat discussions, and strategic knowledge sharing, Defend The Railroad empowers participants to identify vulnerabilities, fortify defenses, and shape the future of rail cybersecurity.
