Methods and apparatus for use in identifying cyber-security threats for an aircraft are provided. The method includes storing parts information relating to each hardware and software component used on the aircraft in an aircraft parts database, receiving, by a computing device, a cyber-security threat, and determining, by the computing device, a threat is relevant to the aircraft by comparing the received threats to the stored parts information.

Methods and systems for use in identifying cyber-security threats in an aviation platform

Provided are methods and systems for managing various component information during component lifecycles. The information may be collected and made available starting with fabrication of a component and throughout various operations that the component may be a part of. A component may be associated with an identifier, such as a barcode or a radio frequency identifier (RFID) tag, containing identifier information. The identifier information may be used to retrieve additional component information, such as fabrication information, assembly information, installation information, maintenance information, spare part number availability, ordering/expedite systems, digital geometry files, drawings, service history, interdependencies, warranty information, available upgrades or alerts, required regulatory actions or notices for presenting on a user interface of the reader. The component information may be available in the on-board memory of the reader and/or retrieved by the reader from a server.

Managing component information during component lifecycle

A system and method for monitoring a network data processing system on a mobile platform. Current traffic in the network data processing system may be monitored by a processor unit while the mobile platform is moving. The current traffic is compared by the processor unit with a baseline of traffic in the network processing system to form a comparison. A determination is made as to whether an undesired event has occurred in the traffic based on the comparison. An action may be initiated responsive to a determination that an undesired event has occurred.
