The aviation industry is aware of the rise of such threats and various efforts have been started to manage them. These efforts range from general critical infrastructure protection to specific activities in the area of cyber security in the aviation industry. Whereas several companies and organizations launched initiatives, the literature research of this study has revealed that standards or guidance for cyber security within the aviation industry are neither recognized nor compulsory....
