Abstract:

In addition to the technical challenges for cybersecurity, aviation faces human challenges involving insider threats leading to betrayals of trust. Common examples include the unauthorized modification of hardware, software, and information and the unauthorized transmittal of information. This article talks about the difficulty in identifying trustworthy people, training for trust, and managing trust. It suggests that an important component of training is to introduce a culture that tolerates well-meaning mistakes and that rewards people for divulging the mistakes that they or others have made. In addition, having a program in place to turn oneself in after a betrayal—a controversial approach—may deter an individual from continuing to betray until apprehended.
