Why do airlines and aviation businesses need penetration testing?
Airlines and aviation businesses run safety-critical technology at scale: booking and reservation platforms, operational and back-office systems, customer-facing web and mobile applications, and the infrastructure behind them. Incursion Cyber Security has hands-on experience testing in this sector, and provides the penetration testing that aviation organisations rely on to find and fix weaknesses before they are exploited.
Where the risk sits
Booking, reservations and payments
The systems that take bookings and payments are both business-critical and constantly probed. We test the web applications and APIs that run them, including the integrations with the payment and distribution partners they depend on.
Customer web and mobile
Your website and apps are the front door for millions of customers and a large, exposed attack surface. We test both web and mobile applications, source-assisted or black box, across every user role.
Operational and back-office infrastructure
Behind the customer-facing systems sit the networks, servers and cloud environments that keep an operation running. We provide external and internal infrastructure testing and cloud reviews across AWS, Azure and GCP.
Suppliers and third-party integrations
Aviation runs on a long chain of suppliers and integrations, from ground handling to loyalty programmes. We test the external infrastructure and API integrations that connect you to them, so a third party is not the way in.
Experience in the sector
Our team has carried out penetration testing for organisations in aviation, so we come to the work already understanding the systems and the pressures involved. We are not able to name those clients, but we are happy to talk through relevant experience with you directly. Every engagement is scoped by an active tester with the right skill set, so the work fits how you operate.
To discuss testing for your organisation, see how we test or get in touch.
