Through traditional information technology, aviation-specific protocols and RF communications, the connectivity of aircraft systems extends the attack surface to the aircraft itself, whether on the ground or in flight.
As the digital footprint of airplanes increases, new concerns have been raised regarding the safety of data communication on the airplane, between the airplane and the ground, and the security of the network used to facilitate this.
“Improving aviation cybersecurity is a journey”
Experts suggested These ideas to improve network security:
- Aviation system design must not only proceed from the perspective of protecting system security, but also improve the transparency and objectivity of cyber security risks.
- All contracts between aviation stakeholders must include cyber security considerations.
- With the input of various stakeholders, standards bodies must be supported to create informed and balanced aviation cybersecurity regulations.
New technologies such as E-enabled aircraft, new generation CNS/ATM systems and drones are changing the risk landscape of aviation systems.
Cyber security professionals believe that some of the major cyber threats facing the aviation industry include plane crashes. This can happen in many ways, such as causing damage to important systems, destroying information and changing data, etc., which may cause the pilot to make a "wrong decision." Cybercriminals can also destroy information, leading to false statements and forcing pilots to land the plane.
“The civil aviation industry has become an increasingly attractive target for cybercriminals”
The work of the roundtable is focused on several elements:
- Cybersecurity culture
- Transparency and trust
- Communication and collaboration
- Workforce
