 Quick Look:

Although it might sound a bit sensationalized, reliable research and studies exist that show how in-aircraft hardware and software could possibly be hacked. It's a nightmare scenario that, while still unlikely, is on the industry's radar.

 Quick Look:

Some solutions to cybersecurity vulnerabilities remain common across all industries - for example, building and maintaining an effective, company-wide security culture is a major safeguard against hacks, breaches, and leaks.

Tangible goods and services need protecting, too.

For the layperson, it might be easy to think that something as "real world" as a freight train, an engine manufacturer, or an airplane isn't as much at risk of being hacked as, say, a credit card company. But that's far from the truth. Industries like manufacturing and transportation are under serious threat from hackers, and have their own unique problems to solve.

This whitepaper explores the dangers faced by these industries, their history of cybersecurity events, and steps that are being taken to reduce risk.
