Today security has become a primary challenge in aerospace system development and certification. The aviation network, as well as the aircraft, are  increasingly being  connected to the internet (nose-to-tail) and other private networks , accessing connected  services includ ing  weather forecasts, maintenance data, and high-speed broadband in the cabin  to facilitate  in-flight entertainment (IFE).    

Read how the  Aerospace Security Framework is designed to the clear security implications (and hence safety implications) of these  innovations.
