ICAO stresses need for cyber resilience
The president of the ICAO Council, Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu, has welcomed a declaration restating the air transport sector’s commitment and unity toward achieving resilience against cyber-attacks. “New and more sophisticated digital technologies and processes are coming online daily…impacting as they do our network and its relationships with shippers and the traveling public,” Aliu said. “What this means for cyber security and cyber safety stakeholders is that threats are emerging at an ever-increasing rate.” At ICAO’s Assembly in Oct 2016, govts signalled their concern about cyber risks and threats. However, variations persist among states, air navigation service providers, aircraft and airport operators in terms of the cyber mitigation measures being tackled, highlighting the need for improved sector-wide collaboration. <br/>
