Aerospace Cybersecurity

Aerospace cybersecurity protects £67 billion in UK aviation industry assets from sophisticated cyber threats. Modern aircraft contain over 15 million lines of code, creating vast attack surfaces that require specialised security approaches for passenger safety and operational continuity.

Protecting Aviation’s Digital Future

The aerospace industry represents one of the most complex cybersecurity challenges, combining safety-critical flight systems with commercial operations, manufacturing processes, and ground-based infrastructure. Modern aircraft, airports, and aerospace manufacturers face unprecedented cyber risks that demand specialised security expertise and military-grade protection solutions.

Unique Aerospace Security Challenges

Safety-Critical System Integration

Commercial aircraft integrate flight-critical systems with passenger entertainment, communications, and maintenance networks. These interconnections create potential attack vectors that could compromise both operational efficiency and passenger safety.

Supply Chain Complexity

Aerospace manufacturing involves thousands of suppliers across multiple countries, creating extensive supply chain vulnerabilities. Components, software, and maintenance equipment from various sources can introduce security risks throughout aircraft lifecycles.

Regulatory Environment

Aerospace operations must comply with stringent safety and security regulations from multiple authorities including the CAA, EASA, FAA, and various international aviation organisations, each with specific cybersecurity requirements.

Trusted by over 30,000 Partners

Aerospace Threat Landscape

The UK’s Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure identifies aerospace as a priority sector for cyber protection:

234% increase in aviation-targeted cyber attacks since 2022
£2.8 billion potential economic impact from major aerospace cyber incidents
73% of aerospace cyber attacks involve compromised maintenance procedures
Average 67 days to detect breaches in aerospace manufacturing environments

Critical Aerospace Attack Vectors

Aircraft system vulnerabilities

Modern aircraft rely on networks connecting flight management systems, engine controls and passenger services. Unauthorised access during maintenance or ground connections can create serious safety risks.

Airport infrastructure targeting

Air traffic control, baggage handling and screening systems are high-value targets. Attacks can halt operations, disrupt flights and impact millions of passengers each year.

Manufacturing process threats

Attackers may target production systems to steal IP or introduce defects into safety-critical components, risking product integrity and aircraft safety.

USB & maintenance media risks

Maintenance often uses USBs for updates and diagnostics. Without secure scanning and policies, those routine steps can introduce malware into aircraft systems.

This overview highlights common aerospace vectors where removable media, production systems and operational networks intersect. Consider placing a hardened scanning kiosk and strict removable media policy at maintenance and ground support points to reduce exposure.

Guarding Infrastructures

Aerospace Security Success

A major UK aircraft manufacturer prevented a sophisticated cyber attack targeting their flight control system designs by implementing comprehensive security measures including hardware-based USB scanning across all engineering and manufacturing facilities. This security investment protected intellectual property worth over £180 million whilst maintaining the operational efficiency critical for aerospace manufacturing timelines.

Advanced Aerospace Threat Protection

Nation-State Attack Defense

Aerospace organisations face sophisticated attacks from state-sponsored groups seeking technology theft, operational disruption, or intelligence gathering. Advanced security measures provide defense against these persistent, well-resourced threats.

Intellectual Property Protection

Aircraft designs, manufacturing processes, and proprietary technologies represent valuable targets for industrial espionage. Comprehensive security frameworks protect these critical business assets.

Supply Chain Security

Multi-layered security approaches validate the integrity of components, software, and services throughout complex aerospace supply chains, preventing compromised elements from reaching safety-critical systems.

Regulatory Compliance for Aerospace Operations

Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Requirements

UK aerospace operators must demonstrate robust cybersecurity measures under CAA guidance, including specific requirements for protecting safety-critical systems and maintaining operational resilience.

EASA cybersecurity requirements

EASA cybersecurity requirements mandate comprehensive security measures for aircraft systems, maintenance procedures, and ground support equipment throughout Europe.

DO-326A/ED-202A Security Standards

These international standards define cybersecurity requirements for aircraft systems, establishing specific technical requirements for threat detection and incident response in aviation environments.
