Critical Cybersecurity Updates for Transportation StakeholdersFTA urges transit agencies and Operational Technology (OT) operators to review the following updates from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), including a new Gold Eagle AI Clearinghouse initiative.CISA and Treasury Launch the Gold Eagle AI ClearinghouseIn support of Executive Order 14409, CISA and the Department of the Treasury launched Gold Eagle AI Clearinghouse, a software capability that augments the Vulnerability Information and Coordinated Environment (VINCE) platform.

Gold Eagle lets organizations report, validate, and track AI-related vulnerabilities at scale.

It ensures CISA can quickly review and process reports and avoid duplicate efforts while helping researchers and vendors identify and fix vulnerabilities safely.

Industry partners interested in collaborating, innovating, and making a real impact are encouraged to reach out—email clearinghouse@cisa.dhs.gov to get started.CISA and Partners Issue Joint Cybersecurity Advisory on Siemens S7 Series PLCSCISA, the National Security Agency (NSA), and partners released a joint advisory, Defending Against an Active Threat to Siemens S7 Series PLCs, which warns of threat activity targeting Siemens S7 series programmable logic controllers (PLCs).

Threat actors are conducting reconnaissance and capability development against U.S. based Siemens PLCs using AI-generated scripts disguised as legitimate monitoring tools.

Organizations should also assess exposures across all PLCs and Operational Technology (OT) devices, as broader risk extends beyond Siemens products to other manufacturer devices.New Industrial Control Systems (ICS) AdvisoriesCISA released three new ICS advisories regarding current security issues, vulnerabilities, and exploits:ICSA-26-230-01:CISA MalcolmICSA-26-230-02:Siemens Simcenter NastranICSA-26-232-01:Johnson Controls Simplex Incident ManagerPlease direct any stakeholder questions toDot-Sector-Cyber@dot.gov.
