Aviation cyber risk sits on the ground, the blindness sits in the air
An aviation cybersecurity CEO discusses how cyber threats targeting airlines primarily manifest in ground operations rather than in-flight systems, citing examples such as GPS jamming that evades security monitoring and unsigned message acceptance in drone autopilot systems. He emphasizes that vulnerabilities in data loading processes pose greater risk than commonly scrutinized applications, and advocates for digital twin technology to improve visibility.
Why it matters: Airlines and aviation operators need to shift security focus from cockpit systems to ground infrastructure and data supply chains, where attackers are more likely to establish persistence before any flight operation occurs.
