Fredericksburg, VA – November 15, 2017 – RPI Group, Inc. (RPI) Cybersecurity is currently providing Risk and Security Assessment Services to the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission’s (PRTC) Bandwidth and Network Infrastructure.

The PRTC is a multi-jurisdictional agency representing Prince William, Stafford, and Spotsylvania Counties and the Cities of Manassas, Manassas Park and Fredericksburg.

PRTC provides commuter bus service along the busy Virginia I-95 and I-66 corridors to points north (OmniRide & Metro Direct), and local bus services in Prince William County and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park (OmniLink & Cross County Connector). PRTC also offers OmniMatch, a free ridesharing service. Operated by PRTC in partnership with the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission (NVTC), the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) provides commuter rail service along the Manassas and Fredericksburg lines, connecting to transit providers at stations in Virginia and the District of Columbia.

RPI is utilizing a 3-phase assessment approach. Phase One will capture a comprehensive understanding of PRTC’s network topology, data processes and infrastructure. The result of this first phase of data collection will support Phase Two capital budgeting recommendations that provide an optimal investment strategy to offset vulnerability gaps, implement remediation priorities and sustain improvements to the organization’s infrastructure and overall cybersecurity posture. Phase Three will deliver a training and education program that provides PRTC personnel with information about current best practices in cybersecurity, social engineering threats and countermeasures and raising awareness of risky network and online behaviors resulting in an educated and informed staff.
