Book excerpt: While the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has taken steps to protect its air traffic control systems from cyber-based and other threats, significant security control weaknesses remain, threatening the agency's ability to ensure the safe and uninterrupted operation of the national airspace system (NAS). These include weaknesses in controls intended to prevent, limit, and detect unauthorized access to computer resources, such as controls for protecting system boundaries, identifying and authenticating users, authorizing users to access systems, encrypting sensitive data, and auditing and monitoring activity on FAA's systems. Additionally, shortcomings in boundary protection controls between less-secure systems and the operational NAS environment increase the risk from these weaknesses. The objective of this book is to evaluate the extent to which FAA has effectively implemented information security controls to protect its air traffic control systems. This book also identifies the cybersecurity challenges facing FAA as it shifts to the NextGen ATC system and how FAA has begun addressing those challenges; and assesses the extent to which FAA and its contractors, in the acquisition of NextGen programs, have followed federal guidelines for incorporating cybersecurity controls.

Book excerpt: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has overseen significant upgrades to the technology used to manage aviation operations to increase the safety and efficiency of the National Airspace System (NAS). Though necessary to regular operations, these modern computing and communications systems provide a greater attack surface for criminals, terrorists, or nation-states to exploit and thereby increase the potential for cybersecurity threats to the NAS and its constituents. The future safety and security of air travel will rely in part on the ability of the FAA to build a workforce capable of addressing the evolving cybersecurity threat landscape. Securing the computers, networks, and data that underpin modern aviation depends in part on the FAA having enough cybersecurity professionals (capacity) with the right knowledge, skills, and abilities (capability)). It also depends on the FAA's workforce having sufficient diversity of backgrounds and experience. Such diversity is critical in analyzing cybersecurity problems and widely understood to be a functional imperative for effective cybersecurity programs. At the request of Congress, the publication examines the FAA's cybersecurity workforce challenges, reviews the current strategy for meeting those challenges, and recommends ways to strengthen the FAA's cybersecurity workforce.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aerospace Supply Chain and Cyber Security - Challenges Ahead looks at the current state of commercial aviation and cyber security, how information technology and its attractiveness to cyber attacks is affecting it, and the way supply chains have become a vital part of the industry's cyber-security strategy. More than ever before, commercial aviation relies on information and communications technology. Some examples of this include the use of e-tickets by passengers, electronic flight bags by pilots, wireless web access in flight, not to mention the thousands of sensors throughout the aircraft constantly gathering and sharing data with the crew on the ground. The same way technology opens the doors for speed, efficiency and convenience, it also offers the unintended opportunity for malicious cyber attacks, with threat agents becoming bolder and choosing any possible apertures to breach security. Supply chains are now being seriously targeted as a pathway to the vital core of organizations around the world. Written in a direct and informative way, The Aerospace Supply Chain and Cyber Security - Challenges Ahead discusses the importance of deeply mapping one's supply chain to identify risky suppliers or potential disruptions, developing supplier monitoring programs to identify critical suppliers, and identifying alternative sources for IT/ICT products or components, to name a few of the necessary actions to be taken by the industry. The Aerospace Supply Chain and Cyber Security - Challenges Ahead also discusses the standardization of communications platforms and its pitfalls, the invisible costs associated with cyber attacks, how to identify vulnerabilities of the supply chain, and what future scenarios are likely to play out in this arena. For those interested in the many aspects of cyber security, The Aerospace Supply Chain and Cyber Security - Challenges Ahead is a must-read.

Book excerpt: The need to protect Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems from cyber attacks requires enhanced attention because the FAA has increasingly turned toward the use of commercial software and Internet Protocol (IP)-based technologies to modernize ATC systems. Now, attackers can take advantage of software vulnerabilities in commercial IP products to exploit ATC systems, which is worrisome at a time when America is facing increased threats from sophisticated cyber attacks. This audit determined whether: (1) Web applications used in supporting ATC operations are properly secured to prevent unauthorized access to ATC systems; and (2) FAA¿s network intrusion-detection capability is effective in monitoring ATC cyber-security incidents.

Book excerpt: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) oversees the national airspace system, which comprises air-traffic control (ATC) systems, procedures, facilities, and aircraft, and the people who operate them. FAA is implementing Next Gen to move the current radar-based ATC system to one based on satellite navigation and automation. It is essential that FAA ensures effective information-security controls are incorporated in the design of NextGen programs. This report (1) identifies the cybersecurity challenges facing FAA as it shifts to the NextGen ATC system and how FAA has begun addressing those challenges; and (2) assesses the extent to which FAA and its contractors, in the acquisition of NextGen programs, have followed federal guidelines for incorporating cybersecurity controls.
