Creation of a mitigation plan should include identification of threat vectors in the following areas:
- Road transport, including trucks, truck terminals, truck wash and disinfection facilities, highways, bridges, and tunnels
- Rail transport, including rail tank cars, rail car loading/unloading terminals, rail car wash and disinfection facilities, rail rights-of-way, railroad bridges, and railroad tunnels
- Maritime transport, including barges, loading/unloading piers, waterways, canals, and ports
- Air transport, including aircraft and airports
Process/Skill Questions:
- What are the risks to agricultural product transportation systems?
- What are the vulnerabilities of agricultural product transportation systems?
- What are the assets affected?
- What type of products require maritime transport?
- How would disruption of maritime transport affect the food supply sector?
- What regulations are in place to ensure security while transporting goods via air?
- How might the risk of cyberattacks be elevated in global transportation vs. domestic transportation?
