Abstract

In an era of rapid technological advancement and increasing connectivity, the importance of cybersecurity in air traffic control (ATC) cannot be overstated. As aviation systems become more integrated and reliant on digital networks, safeguarding against potential cyber threats is paramount to ensure the continued safety, efficiency, and integrity of air traffic management. This study underscores the critical importance of cybersecurity in air traffic control (ATC), emphasizing its role in ensuring the safety, efficiency, and integrity of aviation systems. Combining insights from expert interviews and a literature review, the research delves into emerging cyber threats, expert perspectives, and effective strategies for fortifying cybersecurity measures in ATC. Through this approach, the study aims to contribute to a nuanced understanding of the challenges and innovations in cybersecurity, providing valuable insights for policymakers, aviation professionals, and researchers.
