Abstract

Verbatim from Embry-Riddle Scholarly Commons. Not paraphrased, not summarized.

This article intended to identify gaps in the safety management system (SMS) framework when it comes to dealing with cyber risks and hazards in the maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) industry. Cybersecurity is currently a concern of the aviation industry, but organizations in the MRO industry do not seem to be aware of any specific risks and hazards and therefore are not prepared to handle them. Concerns are largely around the increasing reach of aviation and the digital transformation of infrastructure, but the body of knowledge does not go into any greater detail. As a result, it is hard to identify any gaps in the current SMS framework. Rather, recommendations are made regarding the inclusion of cyber risks and threats into the existing SMS.
