Cybersecurity in Connected Aircraft: Risk Mitigation for Airlines, Passengers, Airports, and Service Providers
The aviation industry is embracing a connected environment by digitizing its operations. This involves leveraging IoT devices, 5G networks, applied AI, advanced analytics, and SaaS-based applications to streamline maintenance, repair, and overhaul. A connected aircraft generates three types of information: aircraft control and navigation data, cabin-based in-flight entertainment data, and operations-based flight movement data. However, interconnected systems have greatly widened the risk perimeter. These demands call for applying security measures, including zero-trust security and secure by design principles, and collaborating with a technology partner who offers services such as threat detection, incident response, governance, risk and compliance, red teaming, 24x7 monitoring, and threat intelligence.
