Cyviation Launches Advanced Cyber Defense for Safer Air Travel

In response to the growing threat of cyberattacks on the aviation industry, Israeli cybersecurity startup Cyviation is dedicated to safeguarding aircraft through advanced cyber defense measures. Founded in October 2021, initially as a nonprofit with Israel Aerospace Industries, Cyviation has evolved into a pivotal entity focused on implementing cybersecurity by design to protect against a wide range of digital threats. CEO Avi Tenenbaum emphasizes the need for updating the cyber defenses of commercial aircraft, many of which still operate on outdated systems like Windows 7 or Windows NT, making them vulnerable to attacks that could compromise passenger data and flight safety.

Q&A #2: SARPcheck safety audit, global wet lease, codeshare, ACMI Booster

Question:

Why does SARPcheck boost airline charter business unprecedentedly?

Answer:

SARPcheck offers a unique approach to compliance verification for airline operators, without requiring full compliance proof for registration. This method enhances the true value of safety audits by eliminating the implicit pressure on auditors. Once audited, airlines immediately achieve Phase I registration and receive a detailed report. This report can be shared with potential charter or codeshare partners, streamlining the collaboration process.

Consider a scenario where airline A is audited for ICAO SARP compliance before entering a codeshare agreement with partner airline X. If airline X receives the audit report highlighting 10 findings from airline A's SARPcheck audit, it can bypass the extensive process of assessing airline A against the myriad of applicable ICAO SARPs. Instead, airline X can concentrate on resolving these 10 specific findings, significantly accelerating the partnership process.

Another advantage of SARPcheck is the option for audited airlines to pursue verification of findings' resolution. Successfully addressing all findings allows the airline to advance to the Phase II registry, recognized as fully compliant without any pending issues. This flexibility and efficiency facilitate quicker business engagements and underscore SARPcheck's value in promoting aviation safety and compliance.

In this series I am answering some of the many questions I am asked following the recent release of this new program, which boosts both safety levels and airline businesses by enabling wet leases, codeshares, charters and ACMI. Send me your questions or find more information on www.SARP.org !
