White paper Airports Cybersecurity

Airports are highly complex environments – and like so many other businesses, they are undergoing a digital transformation. Discover more regarding their needs for cybersecurity.

As travellers, we may not think of airports as businesses or as employers, but there are in fact hundreds of airport operating companies around the world, and their combined annual revenue measures in the tens of billions of euros. 

Airports employ managers, HR teams, communications experts, operations staff, security personnel, customer service representatives, maintenance workers and more. Airports are also part of a complex broader ecosystem involving a wide range of service providers, partners and stakeholders, many of whom employ personnel who have direct or indirect access to airport facilities or data. 

This complexity is leading to a need for a high level of cyber security including the capacity to protect and detect large and complex critical infrastructure while following country as well as transnational regulations. And just like any other company, airports have IT and OT systems
