CURRENT STATUS OF CYBER SECURITY IN ARTAS SURVEEILLANCE DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present a comprehensive status of cyber security challenges in ARTAS surveillance data processing system. The cyber security is a major concern of current Air Traffic Systems. It is mandated by European Union as well as national law. Therefore, EUROCONTROL as the provider the ARTAS application conducted a comprehensive security assessment is to identify security vulnerabilities of the systems. For this purpose, a grey-box penetration testing was conducted by EUROCONTROL’s security experts. The numerous findings are currently mitigated by the fact that ARTAS systems should be isolated and restricted in a secure architecture. The next version of ARTAS application is addressing the most critical issues.
