Cybersecurity Protections

In the context of aviation, cybersecurity protections refer to the measures, practices, and technologies implemented to safeguard aviation systems and networks from cyber threats. These protections are crucial in maintaining the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data and services in the aviation industry. They encompass a wide range of areas, including aircraft systems, air traffic control systems, airport systems, and airline information systems. Cybersecurity protections in aviation aim to prevent unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction of information. They also aim to prevent attacks that could potentially compromise the safety and efficiency of flight operations. These protections involve the use of various tools and techniques, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, encryption, and secure coding practices. They also involve the implementation of policies and procedures for incident response and recovery, user access control, and security awareness training. The importance of cybersecurity protections in aviation has grown significantly in recent years, due to the increasing reliance on digital technologies and the growing sophistication of cyber threats.
