Session
Modern aircraft are among the most connected machines on earth, combining IT, operational technology, and advanced communication systems. This connectivity delivers efficiency and innovation but also creates new challenges for security and safety.
In this session, Ken Munro draws on years of practical testing and collaboration across the aviation sector to look at how connectivity impacts resilience, from electronic flight bags and wireless maintenance systems to passenger Wi-Fi and satellite communications. He explains how security findings are identified, disclosed responsibly, and addressed in partnership with manufacturers, airlines, and regulators.
