Aviation & Logistics

Cybersecurity for airports, airlines, freight forwarders, ports and supply-chain operators under SOCI, MTOFSA and ICAO.

Cyber security that keeps aviation and logistics moving.

Aviation and logistics sit where IT, OT and physical security meet. A DCS outage isn't a support ticket - it's a ground stop. Vectra covers airports, airlines, freight and port operators. We monitor check-in, baggage handling, air-side radar links and warehouse OT alongside corporate IT. We've delivered against the SOCI Act, MTOFSA rules and ICAO cybersecurity guidance. Our SOC is sovereign, so customs and freight-manifest data never leaves the jurisdiction.

Cyber threats against airports, airlines and freight.

Ground-stop ransomware

Double-extortion groups target DCS, baggage reconciliation and cargo systems, where downtime forces immediate diversion.

Cargo and manifest fraud

Business-email compromise changes freight manifests, release orders and bill-of-lading approvals in real time.

Warehouse and terminal OT

Conveyor control, terminal operating systems and refrigeration monitoring sit unmanaged on flat networks.

Supply chain compromise

Vendor and integrator access to crew-management, navigation and check-in infrastructure used as beachheads.

SOCI and MTOFSA transport obligations we align to.

  • SOCI Act (Aviation and Transport sector obligations)

  • MTOFSA (Maritime Transport and Offshore Facilities Security Act)

  • ICAO Doc 8973 cybersecurity guidance

  • IATA Cyber Security Management System

  • TSA Security Directive equivalents for US-bound freight

  • Customs and biosecurity data handling under the Customs Act

Transport cyber security outcomes that prevent ground-stops.

  • DCS, baggage and cargo systems continuously monitored without touching airline certification paths

  • Crisis playbooks tested with Airside Operations, Cargo and Passenger Experience teams

  • Vendor and integrator remote access brought under zero-trust and session-recorded

  • SOCI CIRMP evidence ready for Department of Home Affairs and CASA queries

  • Insurance-grade incident reporting that preserves cover under cyber and hull policies

Questions transport customers ask first.

Can you monitor our DCS, baggage and cargo systems?

Yes. We collect passively from SPAN or native log sources, then correlate DCS, BRS, cargo and terminal-operating-system events with corporate telemetry in one analyst view.

How do you handle declared-incident ground-stops?

We pre-agree ground-stop containment with Airside and Passenger Experience leadership. The moment an incident is declared, our analysts run the pre-approved isolation playbook, with no waiting on change approval mid-event.

Do you understand ICAO cybersecurity obligations?

Yes. Our consultants deliver against ICAO Doc 8973 and the ICAO Cybersecurity Strategy. On request, we can map findings back to IATA CSMS controls.

Can you support international freight obligations?

Yes. We run programs that meet TSA security directives for US-bound freight, and align to WCO SAFE Framework data-handling rules.
