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.

Speaker Details

We're calling on cybersecurity experts, rail operators, researchers, and industry leaders to share their insights at the Defend the Railroad Cyber Security Collaborative 2026.

 

This event is dedicated to safeguarding America's railways against evolving cyber threats. Together, we'll explore the latest vulnerabilities, adversary tactics, and defense innovations shaping the future of transit security.

 

Join us in driving the mission forward, influencing national conversation, and helping secure transportation.
