As the world transitions away from fossil fuels, electricity and hydrogen will play a crucial role in future transportation. At the same time, hyper-connected transportation systems and autonomous vehicles will reshape how people and goods move around. These technologies will be crucial to meeting future business and living requirements, as well as net zero targets.

But as transportation systems get smarter, they also become more complicated – particularly the integration of unmanned aerial vehicles and autonomous vehicles into existing transport infrastructure.

Our impact: We secure the entire mobility lifecycle

As organisations create new smart mobility solutions, they must address both cyber and physical risks throughout the entire system lifecycle. At the same time, they must protect legacy systems.

This is precisely what Airbus Protect offers. We draw from cross-industry expertise gained over three decades of protecting Airbus’ complex systems, combining this with digital innovation pedigree.

Safety solutions for transportation: securing autonomous and connected mobility

As mobility becomes autonomous and hyper-connected, the definition of safety is evolving. We bridge the gap between aerospace rigor and automotive agility. We help OEMs and operators navigate the complexities of ISO 26262 and rail standards, ensuring that smart mobility solutions from autonomous shuttles to high-speed trains are safe, secure, and trusted by the public.
