  • Cybersecurity in the Testing Environment

    Integrating Security into Safe Airborne Software Development

    Cybersecurity requirements are now integral to the verification and validation (V&V) process for avionics and embedded systems, driven by mandatory compliance with DO-326A / ED-202A series under EASA Part 21 and FAA Special Conditions for connected systems. With increased network exposure (e.g., ACARS, ADS-B, SWIM, onboard Wi-Fi), system-level cybersecurity testing is prioritized alongside traditional safety assessments. Key activities such as threat modeling, penetration testing, secure boot validation, and verification of isolation in mixed-criticality environments provide unique challenges. How does the industry focus on tooling and methodologies that support combined safety and security certification—positioning cybersecurity as a top priority?
