The Airline Industry Needs Better Cybersecurity — Here’s Why

This podcast from Transport Security International Magazine highlights the alarming security risks associated with sharing airline booking numbers and last names online. The author argues that the airline industry needs to implement stronger authentication measures to protect travellers from unauthorised flight modifications, cancellations, and identity theft. The podcast suggests that airlines should adopt two-factor authentication, encryption and tokenisation, user education, and regular security audits to address this issue. The podcast also mentions that compliance with standards such as NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and PCI DSS would improve security and help airlines better manage cybersecurity risks.
