Cyber Security workshop at ARRB International Conference

The 28th ARRB International Conference will play host to many intriguing workshops, one such workshop is Digital Security for Connected and Automated Vehicles: From Policy to Practice which will be hosted by Dr Charles Karl of ARRB and Transport Certification Australia.

This interactive panel session will explore a spectrum of perspectives on Australia’s cyber security preparedness for large-scale deployments of highly connected and automated vehicles onto our road transport networks: national policy, international standards & best practice, industry readiness, and practical experiences from pilot deployments.

This workshop will be taking place on Day Two of the conference on Tuesday May 1 at 1:30pm.
