Aggressive nation-state threats and supply chain cyber risk indicate major turbulence ahead
NEW YORK: SecurityScorecard today released new cybersecurity research on 250 leading global aerospace & aviation companies, including 100 top commercial passenger airlines. In The Cyber Risk Landscape of the Global Aviation Industry, 2024 report, security researchers provide a detailed examination of cybersecurity vulnerabilities across the airline industry and its various supply chains.
Novel insights into aviation cybersecurity
The report comes as regulatory bodies worldwide ramp up cybersecurity requirements for the aviation sector. The U.S. Transportation Security Administration introduced new mandates in March 2023, and the E.U.'s Implementing Regulation 2023/203 will take effect in 2026, setting a new standard for aviation information security risk management.
The aviation industry has traditionally focused on physical security threats, but recent revelations about risks on Boeing's supply chain have spotlighted the critical need to measure and mitigate supply chain risk. SecurityScorecard's latest research aims to elevate the discourse on supply chain cyber risk in particular, emphasizing the need and best practices for comprehensive cybersecurity monitoring across the aviation sector.
Key findings
Cybersecurity recommendations for the aviation industry
Based on this analysis, SecurityScorecard threat researchers also offer actionable insights for enhancing cybersecurity in aviation:
Ryan Sherstobitoff, Senior Vice President of Threat Research and Intelligence, said:
“The aviation industry operates on a complex web of partnerships, but a company's security is only as strong as its weakest link. Our research shows airlines are flying blind on third-party risks. It's time for the industry to take control and prioritize robust security measures across their entire ecosystem before turbulence turns into a disaster."
Methodology
SecurityScorecard compiled a sample of 250 organizations, including 100 top-rated commercial passenger airlines; 50 top manufacturers of aircraft and their components; 50 top providers of aviation services; and 50 top providers of aviation-specific software and IT products and services. This list came from industry rankings and trade and consumer publications, based on a mix of quantitative and performance metrics and strategic significance.
