Avionics International – The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is proposing new cybersecurity amendments to the way aircraft electronic networks and systems are certified.
Under the new amendments, manufacturers and operators seeking certification of new aircraft systems and networks or modifications to existing ones will be required to address threats that can lead to unauthorized access and disruption of electronic information or electronic aircraft system interfaces. EASA is proposing the new amendments to address the growing presence of connectivity within modern aircraft network designs.
