Establishing Appropriate Mechanisms to Safeguard Aviation Infrastructure Systems from Cyber Threats
“Technological advancements and digitization have brought many advantages to the airport infrastructure sector while creating challenges in managing cyber vulnerabilities in this complex environment. Critical systems, such as air traffic control and baggage handling, are at risk of cyber threats and attacks, potentially leading to flight delays, cancellations, and compromised passenger safety. Moreover, the proliferation of IoT devices and outdated legacy systems amplifies security vulnerabilities. Insider threats, human error, and inadequate employee training further pose significant risks. As airports digitize and expand operations, addressing these challenges becomes paramount for ensuring secure and efficient travel.“
