October Cybersecurity Update

Over the past five years, security breaches have increased globally by almost 70%, making the need for cybersecurity awareness and protection in business aviation even more of a necessity for flight departments. Our Threat Monitoring service gives flight departments peace of mind knowing that their data is protected in flight. We monitor data patterns to identify any potentially malicious activity, and if discovered we notify our customers immediately – but we don’t stop there. We don’t just inform customers that they are at risk, we take immediate steps to stop the threat and determine the root cause – whether it be powering down a compromised device, blocking a malicious site, or even calling the aircraft in flight. And in all instances, we follow up with the flight department to discuss the event and give advice on how to prevent it from happening again.
