Eurocontrol Cautions for Step-change in Cyber-attacks
More than 30 cyber-attacks on aviation have gone publicly reported in the first half of this year.

Eurocontrol is calling on the industry to develop its defensive capability against cyber threats. The agency is urging all stakeholders to take a collaborative approach to building a federated, trusted cyber-resilience framework as the number of cyber-attacks on aviation rises. The intensity—the time and magnitude—of the breaches also has heightened. Reports of cyber-attacks on aviation have exceeded 30 in the first half of this year while most likely more occurred but went publicly unreported or even detected, the Brussels-based intergovernmental ATM organization noted in its “Think Paper” on cybersecurity in aviation. The data refers to cyber events on a global level and across the industry, not just ATM.
