Aviation Security
Securing Airports &
Aviation Networks.
From ATC coordination networks and baggage systems to passenger check-in and border control — DKTrace monitors the full aviation IT/OT stack without disrupting operations. Built to meet ICAO Annex 17 and EASA cybersecurity requirements.
Threat Landscape
Aviation-Specific Cyber Threats
Insider Threats & Rogue Employees
Aviation security incidents frequently involve authorised staff. DKTrace's UEBA builds a 30-day behavioural baseline per employee and alerts on any deviation — unusual system access, data staging, or after-hours activity.
Ransomware on Airport IT
Airport operations technology — check-in systems, baggage handling, ATC coordination networks — is a high-value ransomware target. DKTrace detects encryption precursors: mass file access, shadow copy deletion, C2 beaconing.
Aviation Cyber Directives Compliance
ICAO Annex 17, EU NIS2, and national CAA cybersecurity directives mandate incident detection and reporting. DKTrace auto-generates compliant incident reports aligned with ICAO and EASA cybersecurity standards.
Third-Party Vendor Access
Airports rely on hundreds of vendors — ground handling, fuel, catering, IT. DKTrace baselines every third-party connection and isolates vendor sessions, alerting immediately if a vendor accesses systems outside their scope.
