摘要

This paper examines critical vulnerabilities in transportation security across ports, highways, railways, and aviation. It highlights key threats, including cyber-attacks, terrorism, and systemic infrastructure weaknesses, demonstrating how disruptions at transport hubs can cause cascading effects on global supply chains. The analysis focuses on five strategic defense measures: networked defense, hub protection, targeted resource allocation, asymmetrical threat anticipation, and prevention-focused strategies. Findings emphasize the necessity of coordinated international security efforts, advanced monitoring technologies, and proactive risk mitigation. The paper concludes with recommendations for improved cybersecurity frameworks, enhanced operational resilience, and better human-factor considerations in transportation security.
