Cybersecurity in Aviation
The next-gen Aviation Safety element
Implementing an Information Security Management System:
Prepare to be safer
Technology and cyber systems have become essential to modern society in many activities involving information technology.
Civil aviation is nowadays making also more use of cyber enabled technology to increase safety and efficiency of the air transport.
Along with the benefit of the cyber technologies however, insecurities like cyber threat and cyber-attack arise.
These insecurities have also stronger impacts when the systems are interconnected (like for example air navigation systems, on-board aircraft control and communication systems, airport ground systems, flight information systems, security screening etc.)
The tendency of the aviation industry to become increasingly digitalized creates therefore the ground for new aviation safety risks to emerge
Attack Surface - Why Aviation?
New ways of processing data in Aviation
Interoperability
Migration, for increased interoperability, to standard IP-based networks, with publicly available vulnerabilities
​
Connectivity
Increased connectivity and adoption of non “secured-by-design” A/G Data Link Communication
Sharing Services
More information exchange/sharing through increased adoption of commercially available information technology (COTS, Cloud Services)
Next-Gen Technology
Increasing interest in the adoption of Next-Gen technology (AI, remote control, 5G, autonomous - UAM, etc.)
