The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has called for improved intelligence sharing and preventive measures among foreign government agencies to tackle mounting cyber security risks faced by the aviation sector, reports PTI.
"Every flight that takes off or lands is the result of working together and information sharing among many different entities such as airlines, airports and air navigation service providers (ANSPs). Yet the very nature of this collaboration also enables potential cyber vulnerabilities," a top cyber security expert was quoted as saying at the conference held in Dublin.
Top cyber security experts who attended the conference warned that cyber crimes such as taking over communication of aircraft-to-ground communication, stealing data of credit cards or frequently flyer programmes and document fraud could jeopardise the industry's financial health.
