Aviation, Cyber risks, SecurityAbstract
During recent years, particularly since 2020, there has been a considerable increase in cyber attacks on aviation, particularly on airlines, and to a lesser extent on the entities in charge of leading and controlling air traffic services or Civil Aviation Authorities (CAA). Just as it happened to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which in a period of less than three months was the victim of two attacks on the availability of its information systems, attacks that show that the United States, despite being one of the Countries with greater cyber maturity still present vulnerabilities that must be counteracted. For this reason, this article explores cyber risks for regular aviation.
