A Systematic Bibliometric Review
Published on 2025-02-18 by Ruhaimatu Abudu, Raj Bridgelall, Bright Parker Quayson, Denver Tolliver, Kwabena Dadson @MDPI
Abstract: Cybersecurity challenges are increasing in the rail industry because of constant technological evolution that includes the Internet of Things, blockchains, automation, and artificial intelligence. Consequently, many railroads and supply chain stakeholders have implemented strategies and practices to address these challenges. However, the pace of cybersecurity implementation in the railroad industry is slow even as cyberthreats escalate. This study uniquely integrates bibliometric analysis with a[...]

A Blockchain-Based Smart Contract Approach
Published on 2025-02-15 by Abdullahi Chowdhury, Sakib Shahriar Shafin, Saleh Masum, Joarder Kamruzzaman, Shi Dong @MDPI
Abstract: Increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and the expansion of EV charging infrastructure present opportunities for enhancing sustainable transportation within smart cities. However, the interconnected nature of EV charging stations (EVCSs) exposes this infrastructure to various cyber threats, including false data injection, man-in-the-middle attacks, malware intrusions, and denial of service attacks. Financial attacks, such as false billing and theft of credit card information, also pose s[...]
Our summary: Blockchain-based smart contract approach for enhancing sustainable transportation within smart cities, mitigating cyber threats in EV charging stations, and increasing user trust in EVCS systems.

Measuring the size and severity of the integrated cyber attack surface across US county governments
Published on 2025-01-17 by @OXFORD
Abstract: AbstractLimited methodologies to measure, enumerate, aggregate, and evaluate the cyber attack surface of US county governments prevent the full estimation of the importance of local government cybersecurity to national resilience. Our study aims to address this gap. We further develop existing OSINT-based methodologies to measure the attack surface and assess the size and vulnerability of publicly accessible county infrastructures. By collecting data on 42 735 Internet-facing devices across 30[...]
Our summary: Study measures and evaluates cyber attack surface of US county governments to highlight importance of local government cybersecurity, showing variations in size, diversity, and vulnerability. Correlation trends with county population and risk quantification reveal impact on national cyber resilience.
