#aviation #cybersecurity: securing the skies for electric aviation

I’ve summarised this article for you:

The aerospace sector is facing new rules that will demand sophisticated tracking and protection of flight data in airports nationwide. It is also facing higher cybersecurity threats in the procurement supply chain, with attacks reaching 600% of the normal in 2023. To combat these threats, the responsibility will fall on suppliers from across the chain to take responsibility for their own section and ensure that their safeguards are up to date and using the latest technology. It will also require a “just” culture, in which mistakes are accepted and reported rather than punished, and a focus on collaboration with partners, pilots, technologists and planners. The rise of electric aviation also presents a challenge as modern aircraft become more dependent on digital circuits, leaving less contingency for mechanical means.
