Cyber security is a relatively new issue for the civil aviation sector, although concrete incidents or cyber security assessments - conducted globally in recent years - warn that specific vulnerabilities and threats predispose aviation to major risks that may materialize in the harm, the destruction or unavailability of physical, economic and information resources, and may even harm human physical integrity.
The Romanian Civil Aviation Authority (AACR) proactively addresses the need to ensure cyber security at the level of national civil aviation, contributing equally to the development of international strategic directions in the field, in collaboration with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Aviation Safety (EASA), the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) and other specialized organizations / institutions, European or global.
AACR is currently contributing to the development of the legislative framework which sets the benchmarks for the development and coordination of cyber security efforts at the level of national civil aviation and which harmonises the process of applying complementary regulations aimed at security of information systems and networks, data protection, critical infrastructure protection, respectively protection of communications. In implementing the medium and long term vision, integrated cyber security risk management capabilities will be developed at the level of national civil aviation, which will allow the functional correlation with national and international networks of entities responsible for cyber security (eg CERT networks). ).
In the long run, cyber security in civil aviation will be dependent on adapting the institutional capacity to respond to threats posed by digital and emerging technologies, which are related to the field of civil aviation (eg Artificial Intelligence, automation and empowerment of services, drones / UAVs / UASs, Smart City, Smart Airports, cybernetic-physical systems and Internet of Things / Internet of Aviation, 5G communications technology, sa).
