As the connected world of travel becomes a reality, 91 per cent of airlines plan to invest in cyber security programs over the next three years, a new report has unveiled.
According to the Sita Airline IT Trends 2016 Survey published today, the level of commitment to cyber security reflects the consensus that a lot is being done in this area but there is always more to do.
Sita, the travel technology provider to the air transport industry, carried out its survey among the world’s top 200 airlines, and discovered that cyber security at airlines is progressing. Three years ago less than half of airlines (47 per cent) said they were making advanced preparations to manage cyber risks -today this has doubled to 91 per cent.
The focus on cyber security also reflects the move to the ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) in which a vast number of physical objects will become connected to the internet. This enables tracking, data collection, analysis and control, which necessitates more security. An overwhelming majority of airlines (68 per cent) are investing in IoT programs in the next three years, up from 57 per cent this time last year. For the full article click here
