Meeting the security standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is vital for flight safety. OT-focused testing supports annual audits and certification processes by identifying vulnerabilities and tracking mitigation efforts. These assessments ensure both regulatory compliance and increased trust from global partners.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) defines the security protocols for aviation systems. Penetration testing of OT environments and avionic components is conducted in accordance with FAA regulations. Regulatory alignment enhances audit readiness and ensures uninterrupted aircraft operations, maintaining a high standard of safety.
DO-326A and DO-356A are internationally recognized standards that guide cybersecurity risk management in avionics. OT security tests aligned with these standards help detect and eliminate risks at early stages. DO-326A focuses on pre- and post-flight cybersecurity procedures, while DO-356A outlines in-depth security assessment practices. Adhering to these standards ensures the highest level of system integrity and safety.
Effective crisis management strategies are essential for protecting avionic and OT systems. Testing evaluates how systems respond to real-world attack scenarios and provides recommendations for improvement. These strategies support both technical and organizational readiness, ensuring continuity of operations during potential incidents.
Security testing of OT systems prepares organizations for national and international regulatory inspections. The results streamline the audit process by offering comprehensive documentation. These reports serve as strategic guides for addressing potential gaps and improving compliance posture.
Testing addresses not only current threats but also equips systems against future risks. Ongoing compliance efforts ensure systems are continuously evaluated and improved to defend against evolving attack vectors. Test results and findings inform long-term security roadmaps and proactive defense strategies.

Avionic systems perform a wide range of critical functions—from flight control to navigation and communication. Ensuring the security of these systems is essential to maintaining flight safety and avoiding operational disruptions. Electronic or cyber attacks can compromise flight operations, potentially resulting in loss of life or property. Threats to flight safety can severely damage the reputation of airlines. A secure avionic infrastructure is also a prerequisite for compliance with national and international aviation standards.
Security assessments cover hardware security evaluations, software and firmware analysis, network security tests, and cyber threat simulations. These tests focus on the security of critical components such as flight control systems, SCADA, PLCs, and sensors. Physical security evaluations are also conducted to prevent unauthorized access. Each test is conducted in accordance with international standards, and the results are used to create improvement plans. Periodic testing helps organizations mature their avionic system security posture.
Avionic system security must comply with standards set by aviation authorities such as ICAO, EASA, and the FAA. Additionally, adherence to DO-326A and DO-356A standards for cybersecurity risk management is essential for ensuring operational continuity. These frameworks provide comprehensive procedures for securing avionics across the aviation sector. Compliance testing also prepares organizations for certifications and regulatory audits.
Cybersecurity assessments and threat simulations are key to identifying and closing vulnerabilities. Optimizing firewalls and network segmentation helps block unauthorized access. Regular software updates and ensuring firmware security are equally critical. In addition, personnel training and incident response planning enable rapid reaction during an attack. Together, these measures ensure resilience against both internal and external threats.
Security testing is planned to avoid any disruption to operational processes. When testing critical systems, contingency workflows and pre-defined action plans are activated. Tests are typically scheduled during maintenance windows or periods of low operational activity. Tailored to organizational needs, these processes help maintain both security and operational efficiency.
