Protecting the systems that keep a global airport running—while maintaining uninterrupted service.

The Challenge

Securing the Core: Protecting Critical Airport Operations

A major international airport needed to strengthen the security of its most vital systems — without interrupting daily operations.

Our mission was to assess and secure key infrastructure, including:

Baggage Handling

Air Traffic Control

Energy Management

Car Parking

Building Management

A single breach could jeopardize safety, disrupt schedules, and damage reputation.

The Approach

We conducted non-intrusive ICS/SCADA vulnerability assessments and manual penetration testing of core airport systems, aligned with global standards (ISO 27001, IEC 62443, NIST).

full-site surveys and inspection, live penetration and testing, actionable risk-based recommendations—illustrating a non-intrusive security assessment approach for airport systems.

All without disrupting live airport operations. The airport achieved a measurable uplift in resilience and stakeholder confidence. Our recommendations closed high-risk gaps, improved operational uptime.
