WEF Report: Cyber Vulnerabilities in Sustainable Aviation Threaten Global Stability
A new report from the World Economic Forum warns that the aviation industry's transition to sustainability is creating significant cybersecurity risks. As the sector becomes more interconnected and reliant on digital systems for initiatives like Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), it exposes new vulnerabilities. These could be exploited by malicious actors to disrupt critical infrastructure and supply chains. The report stresses that such cyber-attacks could threaten not only operational continuity but also regional and global stability. It calls for the industry to build a cyber-resilient framework to safeguard its green transition.
