The Aviation industry is a late adopter of cyber insurance – only one-quarter have cyber insurance. Overconfidence in existing cybersecurity can be a major impediment to the airlines’ ability to recognize that cyber insurance can serve as a backstop to a robust cybersecurity strategy and ongoing risk management.
