Airline Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is increasingly becoming an integral part of aviation safety and operational assurance. As airlines rely on interconnected systems and technologies to support daily operations, cyber risks can extend beyond IT environments and affect the systems and processes essential to safe operations.
Why Cybersecurity Is Becoming an Aviation Safety Issue
The 2027 IOSA Standards Manual, Edition 19 Revision 2, takes effect January 1, 2027, reinforcing the importance of understanding evolving assurance expectations and the relationship between operational safety, security, and cybersecurity.
Are You Ready for the Next IOSA Audit Cycle?
Preparing for the next IOSA audit cycle starts with understanding your airline’s current cybersecurity readiness and identifying potential gaps before they become audit findings. This includes evaluating critical operational systems and assets, assessing cyber risks and vulnerabilities, reviewing existing safeguards and controls, and examining threat monitoring, vulnerability management, and incident response preparedness. Proactive assessments can help airlines better understand their exposure, strengthen controls, and prepare for evolving requirements.
