From autonomous fleet management and logistics planning to ticketing assistants and customer chatbots, AI is reshaping the transportation sector. But these innovations also bring new risks:
- Leakage of passenger manifests, cargo details, or routing data
- Prompt injections manipulating scheduling, routing, or pricing copilots
- AI-driven errors disrupting travel operations or customer safety
- Lack of transparency into how AI recommendations affect compliance and reliability
Our AI runtime security solutions secures the Transportation vertical with Red Team to validate, Guardrails to protect, and inbuilt Observability to govern AI deployments.
Red Team: Validate AI in Transportation Workflows
F5 AI Red Team, previously named Inference Red Team, proactively stress-tests AI applications and copilots before they go live in mission-critical transportation environments.
- Agentic Resistance: Multi-turn adversarial campaigns simulating attackers trying to alter schedules, expose cargo data, or manipulate ticketing systems.
- Signature & Operational Attacks: 50,000+ evolving exploits identify vulnerabilities in logistics optimization, fleet copilots, and customer-facing assistants.
- Transportation-Specific Validation: Tests for safety, uptime, and compliance risks unique to airlines, rail networks, and shipping providers.
Outcome for Transportation Leaders: Trusted AI systems hardened against disruption, manipulation, or unsafe outputs.
Guardrails: Protect Fleet & Passenger AI in Real Time
Once deployed, AI Guardrails, previously named Inference Defend, protects transportation AI applications at runtime without disrupting operations.
- Prevent Data Leaks: Secures passenger PII, cargo manifests, routing information, and ticketing records.
- Stop Adversarial Exploits: Blocks prompt injections or jailbreaks that could alter scheduling, reroute cargo, or manipulate pricing.
- Customizable Policies: Align protections with transportation sector regulations such as TSA, FAA, IMO, and GDPR.
Outcome for Transportation Leaders: Safe, resilient AI copilots and assistants that protect data, safety, and continuity.
Comprehensive AI Security for Transportation
With Red Team, Guardrails, and inbuilt Observability, transportation providers gain:
- Operational Resilience: Protects against adversarial manipulation of scheduling, routing, or logistics AI.
- Data Security: Safeguards sensitive passenger, cargo, and routing information.
- Compliance Confidence: Simplifies adherence to safety and privacy regulations.
- Trusted Innovation: Enables safe use of AI copilots to optimize operations, improve safety, and enhance customer experience.
AI Security Available as SaaS Point Solutions
AI Red Team and AI Guardrails can be deployed individually as point solutions or together as a unified platform. This flexibility enables airlines, rail, shipping, and logistics providers to secure AI copilots across operations, safety, and customer engagement without slowing efficiency.
The Bottom Line
Our suite of AI runtime security solutions secures the Transportation vertical by validating, protecting, and governing AI across logistics, fleet management, and passenger services — enabling safe, efficient, and compliant innovation at global scale.
