Improving Cybersecurity and Visibility for Airport Operations
Why Is Airport Cybersecurity So Important?
Faced with global shocks and growing cyber threats, airport leadership is under pressure to improve cybersecurity, protect expanding digital systems and safeguard passenger services.
Challenges include:
- Major business disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, war-related flight restrictions and extreme weather
- Climbing fuel costs
- Rising cyber threats on critical infrastructure
- Growing cybersecurity compliance requirements
- Complex, diverse airport subsystems with high node counts
- Increasingly connected systems and technology adoption
- Unifying security across IT and OT
To achieve cyber resilience and meet compliance and security KPIs, airports need advanced OT/IoT visibility and security.
The pandemic brought the aviation industry to a dead stop but had the opposite impact on cybercrime. Many experts reported the rise of cyberattacks during this period. This upward trend calls for unprecedented actions to tackle and build resilience for corporate and interconnected systems.
Nozomi Networks' Airport Cybersecurity Solution
Good security starts with great visibility. Nozomi Networks leads the industry in OT/IoT visibility and situational awareness.
As you boost your airport cybersecurity initiatives, you’re faced with a vast quantity and diverse set of operational assets across airport subsystems. Where do you start?
The first step is to identify and locate all your assets, and to do it in a way that poses no risk to operations. The Nozomi Networks solution automates asset inventory, no matter the vendor, and delivers the most extensive and accurate asset coverage. We save you time and money by eliminating manual data collection and providing continuous data vs. snapshots of data.
In addition to asset identification, Nozomi Networks improves your situational awareness by creating a live interactive network visualization showing assets, links, traffic, data flows and more.
A clear view of airport subsystems reduces cybersecurity blind spots and security gaps. It helps you see and secure many types of networks with different purposes and metrics, managed by different teams.
Visibility drives confidence. The OT/IoT expertise built-in to the Nozomi Networks solution dramatically improves visibility—thereby helping you improve risk management across all airport subsystems.
Secure Your Systems and Stay Compliant
Airport facilities are important critical infrastructure. Keeping them secure and operational is vital to fully functioning societies and economic prosperity.
An airport’s complex, diverse and dispersed systems are a huge attack surface for threat actors. Cyber threats continue to escalate, with the potential to impact more than just IT networks. Core airport systems could be compromised, and in the worst case, come to a standstill or be taken offline to protect them.
A key requirement for securing an airport is detecting threats. The Nozomi Networks solution detects malware and IOCs by combining multiple types of OT/IoT/IT threat detection and by receiving continuously updated threat and asset intelligence. It helps you respond efficiently to IT/OT incidents with correlated alerts and actionable intelligence that leads to swift remediation.
Our solution rapidly and passively identifies vulnerabilities across a wide range of subsystems. Its dashboards and reports help you efficiently prioritize and address vulnerability risk.
Nozomi Networks helps you achieve compliance or security KPIs with flexible, customizable reports and powerful queries that instantly answer questions about operational data.
Nozomi Networks helps you assess and address threats and risks for airport subsystems. It helps you meet compliance requirements, achieve KPIs and prevent a damaging security breach.

With the rapid pace of digitalization, regulations may not keep up with the emerging cyber risks. Aviation-sector organizations need to ensure their cyber risk posture and efforts extend beyond compliance, towards a holistic risk management approach.
