Popis: Civil aviation is the safest transport mode in the world and probably also the most interconnected system of information and communication technology. Cyber-attacks are increasing in quantity and persistence, so the consequences of a successful malicious cyber-attack on civil aviation operations could be severe nowadays. New technologies, extension of connectivity and their integration in the aviation industry, especially in the field of Air Traffic Management (ATM), increase the risk to these critical assets. This chapter examines cyber security challenges and interoperability in ATM systems. We propose an extended threat model for analyzing possible targets and risks involved. We also introduce and analyze cyber resilience aspects in the aviation context and the need for holistic strategy of defense, prevention and response. Under the resilience umbrella, all actors should work on collaborative, risk-based framework to address security threats and increase the aviation systems resilience against future attacks.
