BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Aviation systems subject to an average of 1,000 attacks every month: Official

July 12, 2016 Reprints

Luc Tytgat, an official at the European Aviation Safety Agency, has said that aviation systems were subject to an average of 1,000 attacks every month, reported EurActiv.

Mr. Tytgat said that cyber threats to aviation sector must be taken "seriously."

He urged all EASA partners and cyber experts in E.U. member states to develop a common strategy to minimize risks.

EASA said that on-the-ground networks connected to planes are less secure than those installed on the aircraft.

It is feared that terrorists could someday be able to crash planes or make them disappear from radar screens.
