IFALPA has published a Position Paper on Cyber Threats articulating its concern about the possibility of a cyber-attack against an aircraft, ground facility, or other critical infrastructure resulting in unsafe situations or ultimately even loss of life. In this document some guidelines are provided that could help in establishing an environment in which this threat is fully understood and managed and the risk has been brought down to an acceptable level.
