Cyber security & aviation

Dear community,

Does anybody have an experience on cybersecurity for aviation ?

On my point of view, this is a domain with great opportunities and lot of things to do, and I would like to share experiences on it.

In my experience security practitioners around all forms of aviation are notoriously tight-lipped. Even when they are given several drinks and a kebab they refuse to discuss much.

However, if you went to work for someone like these guys then you might find out more, but you might not talk too much about it afterward:

I would start with the community that is already established - the A-ISAC community

Thanks for your reply. Acccording to our experience, what is the maturity and the level of senzibilisation of this sector ?

In my experience, the industry benefits from highly mature processes, procedures and regulations that have been established over time; but like other core undustries like telco, financial and government suffers from a fair amount of legacy infrastructure that is highly specific and difficult to simply replace. The industry places security and safety as high priorities at top levels as a whole, and is strategically initiating a number of objectives to keep up with digital transformation initiatives with a high degree of discussion on security while investigating those initiatives.

Hi Michael @michaelsim

I know this is a really old post, but wondered if it was still alive?

In my current role I am responsible for the DO326A/DO355 application to new aircraft design. I am also heading up the concept of embedding DevSecOPs along with a few other colleagues who have software experience.

If still relevant, anything you are specifically looking for?
