WHITEPAPER
UNDERSTANDING CYBER THREATS IN AVIATION
The aviation industry, especially commercial airlines, is targeted by a variety of actors who pose cyber threats: nation-state-linked cyber actors, cybercriminals, hacktivists, and insider threats. Each of these has different capabilities and motivations when conducting cyber activities, requiring cybersecurity teams to tailor their strategies accordingly. With an understanding of the external context facing an organization, a risk profile can be established, and proper mitigation steps can be identified.
Key takeaways:
→ Discusses the challenge and risk facing UAV’s, such as destruction, operational failure, and cyber attack when they fly into contested and hostile territory.
→ Explores how vulnerabilities are targeted and most common cyber attack paths within operational technology (OT) onboard UAV’s.
