“We are living in an increasingly connected world and aviation is no exception to that trend. Whether in the cockpit, in the cabin or on the ground, connectivity is enabling a whole new dimension of flight safety, operational efficiency for airlines, and comfort and enjoyment for passengers.

She explains how products and systems that equipment suppliers like Thales have to be cybesecure-by-design, and also shows what dedicated technologies and structures have been conceived to counter cybersecurity threats.
