FAA proposes new cyber rules for airplanes and aviation equipment
Briefly

The FAA's proposed updates aim to introduce new cybersecurity design standards for transport category airplanes, driven by the increased connectivity of flight equipment to data networks.
This rule requires applicants to conduct a security risk analysis identifying all potential threats, ensuring that any vulnerabilities in their systems are effectively mitigated before approval.
By standardizing the FAA's criteria for cybersecurity, the agency seeks to reduce certification costs and time while ensuring the continued safety of aircraft systems.
As flight equipment connects more deeply with satellite communications and internet services, the urgency for robust cybersecurity measures grows to protect against emerging threats.
