CCX Release Cybersecurity Hardware for Aircraft
CCX's new AP-250 cyber security appliance is designed to prevent malicious attacks on airborne networking systems.

Avionics test equipment and airborne networking manufacturer CCX Technologies has developed a “cybersecurity appliance” that is designed to prevent unauthorized access to onboard networks and electronic systems. The AP-250 “monitors airborne networks right on board, defending and protecting all aircraft systems—from the flight deck to the cabin,” according to CCX.

Retailing for $14,850, the AP-250 connects to an aircraft’s existing wide-area or local-area network (WAN or LAN), and it can also monitor databuses. Airborne connectivity is not required, but the AP-250 can interface with satcom terminals and routers.
