Most people don't consider the security of their two-way communications. With the recent cyber attacks on Microsoft and Latitude Financial affecting more than 7.9 million Aussies and Kiwis, and  it's time to talk about cyber security again. This time we decided to let ChatGPT do the talking.


We asked ChatGPT why security is important for two-way communications used by bus operators. Here is what it said.


"Having a secure two-way communications system is crucial to ensure the safety of bus drivers and passengers. Two-way radio systems are susceptible to interference, tampering, and eavesdropping, which can all have a significant impact on response times during emergencies. In case of interference or tampering, emergency alarms or calls might fail, leading to potentially life-threatening situations.


Moreover, eavesdropping can result in sensitive information being compromised, leading to unsafe situations. Therefore, it is essential to have a secure two-way communication system that can protect against these threats and ensure reliable communication during emergencies.


In summary, having a secure two-way communication system is essential for ensuring safe and reliable transportation. Any vulnerability or compromise can have severe consequences, endangering the safety of bus drivers and passengers. Therefore, it is crucial to have a system that is secure and can protect against interference and tampering, ensuring reliable communication during emergencies. By doing so, we can guarantee the safety and security of those onboard."
