The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has published a report guiding the aviation industry in implementing cybersecurity measures for electric aviation.
The study was funded by the Federal Aviation Administration, which is investigating the potential for airport electrification to help meet air mobility goals in the United States, NREL said Monday. rice field.
According to the report, security should be built in early in the design and procurement stages of electric aircraft production. During technology procurement, facility owners employ assessments such as the Department of Energy’s Cybersecurity Capability Maturity Model and the Distributed Energy Resources Cybersecurity Framework to identify potential vulnerabilities and protect energy assets. may occur.
The industry should also apply lessons learned from cyber threats to EV ground charging, NREL said.
Multiple stakeholders can extend intrusion detection systems or use the lab’s Module OT operational technology encryption platform to protect virtual information at airports.
