This is an interesting set of summaries for case studies describing a journey toward a connected airport ecosystem. There are a few nods to the importance of including security in the planning and implementation processes.
One security-related assertion that I found interesting:
Researchers have reported the ability to take control of the steering and acceleration of cars via wireless hacking and even access crucial systems on airplanes from in-flight entertainment systems (Greenberg 2015; McGoogan 2016). Therefore, as IoT is adopted, safety, cybersecurity, and data privacy are all increasingly linked.
There are many known solutions to these issues. The same approach that has given aviation
such an impressive safety record over the years can help secure IoT. Just as no technology is
allowed to compromise the physical safety of an aircraft, no IoT adoption should be allowed
to outstrip the ability of airports, airlines, and others to protect data. Using known, trusted
technology vendors and designing IoT solutions with security and
privacy in mind from the start are key to robust security.
It seems somewhat misleading to say that there are many known solutions to IoT issues since I believe there are many IoT devices left to invent and some will likely have unique security implications.
