Abstract
As aviation becomes increasingly reliant on digital technologies, the sector faces heightened exposure to cyber threats that could jeopardize safety, disrupt operations, and compromise sensitive data. Assessing cybersecurity risks in the aviation domain involves identifying vulnerabilities across a wide array of interconnected systems, including aircraft avionics, air traffic management (ATM), airport infrastructure, and passenger services. This abstract explores the key cybersecurity risks, such as potential attacks on critical communication and navigation systems, data breaches in passenger management systems, and vulnerabilities in supply chains and third-party services. It also highlights the growing risk from insider threats, cloud-based operations, and emerging technologies like drones and artificial intelligence (AI). Addressing these risks requires a holistic approach involving continuous monitoring, adherence to international standards, robust regulatory compliance, and collaboration among stakeholders.
A comprehensive risk assessment framework is vital to safeguarding the aviation industry against evolving cyber threats, ensuring operational resilience, and maintaining public trust in aviation safety.
