The incident was a stark reminder that cyber threats in aviation are no longer theoretical\u2014they are operational, visible, and capable of disrupting the passenger experience at scale.<\/p>\n

By some estimates, cyberattacks on aviation surged 600% in 2025 compared with 2024. As aviation becomes increasingly digitized and interconnected, it also becomes a more attractive target. The industry now faces a fundamental challenge. How does it protect critical infrastructure while continuing to provide seamless passenger operations on a global scale?<\/p>\n

That question will be central to the cybersecurity stream at the World Data Symposium, where industry leaders will examine how aviation can strengthen resilience, enhance collaboration, and prepare for a threat landscape that is evolving faster than ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cAviation is critical infrastructure,\u201d says Jeffrey Troy, President and CEO of Aviation ISAC. \u201cIn 2025, we witnessed a rise in cyberattacks against aviation and all critical infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cyber awareness<\/h3>\n

Through the Aviation ISAC, collaboration across the aviation ecosystem continues to mature. Chief Information Security Officers report that more business function owners are integrating cybersecurity into their business processes and strengthening awareness across their organizations.<\/p>\n

\u201cAirlines have also done a great job at attracting and retaining cybersecurity talent,\u201d says Troy. \u201cThe Aviation ISAC is a community for cyber defenders. Our community leverages the top cyber talent and crowd sources problem-solving to raise the skill levels throughout the industry. In addition, there is no shortage of interest from the commercial cybersecurity market in providing solutions and to help close gaps. That is a good combination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cybersecurity strategy<\/h3>\n

It is impossible to stop all cyberattacks. Troy advises that businesses are now focused on resilience: \u201cHow does an organization continue to operate even during an attack?\u201d he asks.<\/p>\n

A good strategy, he suggests, has four…<\/p>\n
