Policy for Building Resilience to Cyber Threats in Civil Aviation

Building resilience to cyber threats requires the synergy of regulatory, operational, and educational actions in order to effectively protect the aviation sector. The aim of the article will be an analysis of dynamically developing digital threats in the aviation industry and the ways of counteracting them. An identification of threats in civil aviation will be carried out. Due to the fact that, along with the progressing digitalization of aviation infrastructure and operations, the risk of cyberattacks is increasing, which may disrupt the functioning of navigation systems, reservation systems, or airport infrastructure. The main international and European regulations and the strategies for counteracting these threats will be discussed, both by intergovernmental organizations such as ICAO, the EU, or EASA, but also by industry non-governmental organizations such as IATA. Key challenges and the necessity of developing a culture of digital security will also be analyzed. Keywords: cyberattacks, civil aviation, cybersecurity, cyber threats
