Cybersecurity services offered to airlines and aviation services

CyberCare

Incident response retainer for airlines and aviation organisations

Through this strategic onboarding, CyberCare ensures that your organisation has a well-defined and exercised cyber incident response plan, optimised recovery times, and a clear governance structure.

By establishing these critical elements in advance, your organisation and the STORM CyberCare team are fully aligned and ready to respond to any incident with minimal risk and maximum efficiency. CyberCare Enterprise prepares your business not just to react, but to thrive in a dynamic and evolving cyber landscape.

Unit-based flexibility

A flexible incident response retainer where unused response units don't get wasted.

If you do not need us for live incidents, unused IR Units can be redirected into proactive work that strengthens defences.

What unused IR Units can support

Protect schedules, not just systems

Use unused IR Units for DCS and GDS tabletop drills and crew-rostering failover testing.

Ground delays shouldn’t start in IT

Convert unused IR Units into ransomware containment rehearsals for ops centres, with IR on call for live incidents.

Shield passenger and loyalty data

Deploy unused IR Units for ATO and API abuse simulations and validate fraud controls before peak travel.

Airport integrations without weak links

Spend unused IR Units on third-party access reviews and joint incident run-throughs.

DDoS shouldn’t derail departures

Apply unused IR Units to playbooks for throttling, rerouting and customer comms under load.

Compliance without turbulence

Allocate unused IR Units to audit evidence and regulator-friendly incident documentation.

FAQs

Quick answers to common questions

How we assess, plan and respond for airline operations and passenger platforms, and how CyberCare works

  • We establish secure communications within minutes, co-ordinate with vendors and airports, and support safe containment and staged recovery to keep schedules moving.

  • Yes. Planning and exercises include rate-limit tuning, traffic shaping, rerouting and clear customer comms under load.

  • Your plan names partners, contacts and authorisations. We run joint bridges, manage evidence and align technical actions with operational and regulatory requirements.

  • Yes. Units can be used for crew app security checks, session-hijack simulations and rostering failover exercises.

  • No. We schedule around peak periods, use read-only methods and keep sessions focussed to avoid operational impact.

  • Plans include decision points, templates and approval paths for regulator updates and passenger communications.

  • Authorised contacts, secure communications, a short discovery of critical platforms and partners, and a priority list for proactive use of Units. Enterprise packages can include plan review, assessments and exercising.

Build resilience across your operation

We’ll help you find the right fit.

Whether you operate one base or a global network, keep schedules and passenger platforms steady with practical preparation and rapid response.

Operational schedules and safety assurance depend on digital systems

When DCS, GDS, crew rostering, passenger apps or airport integrations are disrupted, flights slip and safety assurance pressure rises. Ransomware, DDoS, credential stuffing, API abuse and bot activity now hit operations and revenue, not just IT.

Airlines and aviation operators rely on tightly coupled platforms across carriers, airports and partners. Check-in and departure systems, crew and maintenance systems, payment gateways and loyalty programmes create shared dependencies and time-critical decisions.

 

Regulators and partners expect demonstrable governance and tested response. Effective cybersecurity keeps schedules resilient, protects passenger data and provides clear evidence during and after incidents.

How STORM can help
