challenges

What are the IT Challenges facing the aviation industry?

01
Safety
Safety has many facets. Safety is always a top priority in aviation. This applies both to cyber security, which requires continuous adjustments to IT security infrastructures due to the growing threat of cyber attacks, and to the security of people and machines. The secure storage and processing of sensitive data as well as the complex allocation and control of access authorizations require highly developed IT systems.
02
Availability
Every minute counts in air traffic: fast turnaround times and perfectly coordinated processes are the basis for economic success. Supporting IT systems must therefore be particularly fail-safe and highly available. This applies to networks, data centers and applications. Redundant systems make a major contribution to availability, but are resource-intensive to manage.
03
networking
The provision of air transport services is characterized by the interaction of a wide variety of players who need to act and communicate with each other quickly and efficiently. The networking of the players plays a central role here: secure communication, fast data transfers, variable interfaces - highly complex network structures enable smooth exchange.
04
regulatory complexity
Due to the special requirements for safety and availability, the aviation industry is confronted with a large number of complex regulations and regulatory requirements. Knowledge of these regulatory requirements is extremely important when implementing new technologies and processes.
