Have the really bad guys caused us to forget “internal innocent” cyber threats?
While we focus - importantly - on the malicious and intentionally targeted cyber threats, we should not forget those from internal and innocent sources.
Look back at the recent aviation cyber incidents in the public domain: FAA NOTAM system in early 2023, UK NATS reduced system availability in Mid 2023,
Norway, the October 2023 Optus shutdown in Australia and consider if more comprehensive testing of software changes before being promoted to operational platforms and regression testing might have averted, or at least minimised, the impacts of these events.
