As though airline CIOs didn’t have enough to worry about dealing with the importance of information technology, some people in the CIO job are now having to worry about IT systems that spend their time flying from city to city.
CIOs for the major airlines have become aware that their company’s most expensive assets, their airplanes, may be vulnerable to hacking attacks. As airplanes have become more and more modern, the number of IT systems that they contain has been increasing. The result of this is that each airplane is almost as complex as a flying data center and it has as many vulnerabilities.
This means that CIOs need to take steps to find ways to protect them.
