Cyber resilience in Aviation

This initiative brought together public and private partners to develop solutions for strengthening cyber resilience across the aviation industry and to collectively adopt best practices to ensure resilience and safety.

Critical infrastructures such as airports and related facilities could generate devastating cascading effects resulting in loss of life, economic loss and industrial disruption, among other severe consequences. 

This initiative is now part of the Cyber Resilience in Transport and Supply Chain Ecosystems. 

Our objectives

To facilitate the adoption of best practices and protect the integrity of the ecosystem, this initiative defined the following objectives:

Strengthen cyber resilience across the industry

To proactively address potential risks identifying vulnerabilities and threats.

Develop a trusted network of collaboration with a multi-stakeholder community

To foster collaboration and ensure trust among multi-stakeholders, partners, and customers.

Accelerate the adoption of best practices ecosystem wide

To aid and ensure in the transformation towards a resilient ecosystem.

Our impact

The key impacts of the initiative for the aviation industry deep-dive foster cyber resilience within the industry players and beyond.

Promoted a strong cybersecurity culture

By defining and piloting cyber-resilience principles.

Helped accelerate the adoption of a baseline approach

Across the industry and civil aviation authorities through risk management framework and streamline risk assessment practices.

Supported a global synchronization of cybersecurity efforts

By fostering cooperation between the ICAO, industry and national regulatory bodies.

Our insights

As a completed initiative, we succeeded in strengthening cyber resilience across the industry be developing a trusted network of collaboration with a multistakeholder community to accelerate the adoption of best practices ecosystem-wise.

Pathway Towards a Cyber Resilient Aviation Industry

This report aims to define a common language and baseline of practices and encourage collective initiatives for increasing cyber resilience across the aviation ecosystem.
