Cybersecurity Built for Aviation and Transport
Minimise disruption and build resilience in high-stakes, high-availability transport environments
Why Cybersecurity is Critical in Transport
Cybersecurity is critical in aviation and the wider transport sector because of the highly interconnected ecosystems in which these organisations operate. Airlines, airports, rail operators, logistics firms, and third-party suppliers are all digitally linked, so a disruption in one part of the chain can cascade rapidly, causing widespread delays, safety concerns, and reputational damage.
From flight scheduling systems to ground operations and passenger data platforms, a single cyber incident can bring critical services to a standstill and impact thousands of people. Resilience and proactive threat management are essential to keeping these systems secure, available and trusted.
Unique Cyber Challenges for the Transport Industry
Ransomware Attacks:
Targeting high-availability systems where downtime causes major disruption.
Politically Motivated Threats:
Hacktivist and nation state campaigns aiming to undermine public confidence.
Regulatory Pressure:
Staying aligned with evolving cyber regulations from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), Department for Transport, Network and Information Systems (NIS) / NIS2, and international aviation bodies.
Ecosystem Interdependence:
Managing cyber risk across interconnected suppliers, partners, and critical third parties.
Threat Intelligence Sharing:
Overcoming barriers to cross-industry intelligence sharing and early warning.
Legacy Infrastructure:
Securing ageing operational systems while enabling modernisation and digital innovation.

- Threat Intelligence Services: Contextualised, sector-specific intelligence to inform detection content, incident response, and cross-ecosystem collaboration.
- Incident Preparedness & Crisis Simulation: Tabletop exercises, creative testing and response planning to ensure you’re ready for high-impact cyber events that threaten operational continuity.
