The defence and aviation industries are taking a fresh and harder look at how well their top-of-the-line aircraft are protected from cyberattacks.
In the U.S. the Lockheed-Martin F-35 is the recent focus of attention due to the fighter plane’s overwhelming dependence upon software to handle everything from weapons deployment to resupply, reported the Military Times. At the same time Israel has created a consortium of aviation and cybersecurity firms to look at the security situation for its commercial aviation industry: airports, airlines and aircraft, according to the Times of Israel.
Falanx Group Limited (LON:FLX), is a global intelligence and cyber defence provider working with blue chip and government clients. It operates the MidGARD cyber monitoring platform for corporate and governmental customers which utilises a combination of proprietary and third-party processes and technologies.
