HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to have Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in transportation security and the lead instructor for the Postgraduate Certificate in Intelligent Transportation Security. Welcome, Jane! GUEST: Thank you for having me! I'm excited to be here. HOST: To start, could you share a bit about your experience in this field and what inspired you to create this course? GUEST: Of course! I've been working in transportation security for over 15 years, and I've seen firsthand the growing need for professionals who understand both the cyber and physical aspects of securing our complex transportation networks. I created this course to help address that need. HOST: Fascinating! And what are some current trends or challenges in intelligent transportation security that students can expect to explore? GUEST: In the course, we discuss emerging threats like ransomware attacks on transit systems and the importance of data analytics for risk assessment. A major challenge is staying up-to-date with rapidly evolving technologies and the unique security considerations they present. HOST: That sounds challenging, indeed. How does the course help students develop practical skills to tackle these issues? GUEST: We provide hands-on experience in vulnerability analysis, incident response planning, and the implementation of smart transportation technologies. This helps students develop a comprehensive skill set to address real-world security challenges. HOST: Excellent! As a final question, where do you see the future of intelligent transportation security heading, and how does this course prepare students for that future? GUEST: The future of transportation security will involve increasingly complex systems and a growing emphasis on cybersecurity. Our course equips students with the knowledge and skills to stay ahead of these trends and excel in this rapidly evolving field.
