Aviation & Airport Security.
We assess the connected systems behind an airport and an aircraft, from passenger processing to avionics interfaces.
The attack surface & hardware challenge
Offensive reverse-engineering down to the physical silicon, flash extraction, and protocol buses to uncover deep architectural flaws.
The Aviation Cyber Security Challenge
The aviation industry relies on complex interconnected systems that manage everything from air traffic control to passenger processing and aircraft operations. As these systems become increasingly digitized and connected, they face growing cyber threats that could impact safety, operations, and passenger trust. At Dellon, we understand that aviation cybersecurity extends beyond protecting data to safeguard critical infrastructure, ensure operational continuity, and uphold the highest safety standards across the flight ecosystem.
What the assessment covers
Exhaustive penetration testing vectors executed across hardware, firmware, interface buses, and logic layers.
Air Traffic Control Security
Comprehensive testing of air traffic control systems, communication networks, radar systems, and navigation aids for cyber vulnerabilities and interference risks.
Aircraft Systems Testing
Advanced testing of aircraft avionics, flight management systems, communication systems, and in-flight entertainment for cyber vulnerabilities.
Airport Infrastructure Security
Security assessment of airport operations including baggage handling, passenger processing, ground support systems, and facility management systems.
Aviation Network Security
Testing aviation communication networks, data links, satellite communications, and ground-to-air systems for security vulnerabilities.
