Top Five Cyber Security Challenges in the Aviation Industry
The aviation sector faces a unique set of cyber security challenges as technology evolves. Key cyber security challenges include:
Legacy Systems
Many aviation companies rely on outdated aircraft systems and ground-based technologies. These older systems often have unpatched vulnerabilities and are prime targets for cyber attacks.
Ransomware and Malware
Ransomware attacks are particularly dangerous in aviation due to the critical nature of flight operations and the sensitive data involved. Aviation companies are often targeted because the disruption of services can have severe financial and safety consequences.
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)
Ransomware attacks are particularly dangerous in aviation due to the critical nature of flight operations and the sensitive data involved. Aviation companies are often targeted because the disruption of services can have severe financial and safety consequences.
Data Breaches
With the increase in digital ticketing, passenger information systems, and online booking platforms, aviation organisations store vast amounts of sensitive passenger data. Balancing data security with seamless passenger experiences is challenging and can increase data breach risks.
Insecure IoT Devices
The adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in aviation, such as smart sensors and connected aircraft systems, introduces new vulnerabilities. Poorly secured IoT devices can be exploited by attackers to gain access to critical aviation infrastructure.
