A few key takeaways:
- Perfect security doesn’t exist – Aim for the best possible protection within practical limits.
- Solve the right problem – Focus on real threats, not hype.
- Don’t overcomplicate
- Use layered defense – No single solution is enough.
- Security should be affordable

A researcher was recruited by Palm Beach Networks, a stealthy spyware firm with ties to NSO and Candiru.
Other companies, like Paradigm Shift and Epsilon, are also in Barcelona, developing zero-day exploits and surveillance tools.

- Stopping Wireless Attacks: Hackers can jam or spy on wireless signals used in aviation. Special techniques, like adding noise to signals, can stop them.
- Training Are Importan
- The Future of Aviation Security: No doubt that AI will also make some changes here.

- Safe Software Is Critical: The authors recommend using tools like SPARK to check software for safety before using it in critical systems.
- Protecting Communication Systems: LDACS offers a secure, modern framework for air traffic communications with features like mutual authentication,encryption.

We need ways to detect and manage them to keep our airspace safe using technologies like radio signals, radar, and smart software.
- Aviation Systems Are at Risk: Hackers can attack systems like GPS, steal data, or shut down communication. Encryption and real-time monitoring, to stop these attacks.

The book highlights threats like UAS misuse, GNSS spoofing, and physical layer attacks (e.g., jamming), which have likely intensified with technological advancements and geopolitical tensions. Here are the main points:
- Drones Can Be Dangerous: spying, attacks, or hacking aviation systems.

As connectivity increases, so do cybersecurity risks. How Is Aviation Cybersecurity Today?
Aircraft and air traffic systems are increasingly reliant on networked technologies (e.g., IoT, LDACS, ADS-B), improving efficiency but exposing them to cyber threats.

Right now, “informed consent” doesn’t really explain the consequences—like how heart rate data could track your health but also be used in court or to judge your driving.

Cyberattacks Are Crazy High: In just the first half of 2021, there were 1.5 BILLION attacks on IoT devices globally.

What are some problems?
– Many IoT devices ship with factory-set passwords.
– They often have insecure interfaces, meaning weak authentication in web, API, or mobile interfaces can allow unauthorized access.
– Many vendors fail to provide regular updates.
