The Challenge: Evolving Security Operations Needs
Ransomware Attacks
Ransomware can cripple airport operations by encrypting critical data and demanding ransom payments for its release. This can result in significant financial losses and operational disruptions.
System Outages
DIT systems are integral to the smooth functioning of airport services. Attacks that cause system outages can lead to flight delays, lost baggage, and compromised safety.
Vulnerability of Legacy Systems
Many OT systems in airports, such as runway lighting, HVAC systems, and security screening equipment, are legacy systems that were not designed with modern cybersecurity threats in mind. These systems are often outdated and lack the necessary security features to fend off cyber-attacks.
Interconnected Systems
The increasing integration of IT and OT systems can create vulnerabilities where cyber threats can move laterally across networks, potentially disrupting both digital and physical operations.
Interconnectivity Issues
Increased interconnectivity between IT and OT systems can lead to increased vulnerabilities.
