Recently, the RCTA developed drafting guidelines for the security performance standards in the aviation industry. With the guidelines, the Federal Aviation Administration aimed to ensure that cybersecurity protections will be incorporated into routine activities and day-to-day operation from the air to the ground on manufacturers, carriers, maintenance facilities and airports. Cyber issues in aviation industry ware elevated to such a high priority for the first time. I think it is important that the FAA pay attention on the cyber security in aviation industry. It will be super dangerous if terrorists hacked into a flying plane or airport control tower. From the articles I found through the past 5 weeks, I realized that cyber security is not only about confidential information to business to privacy to individuals, it also relates to our safety.
