ALTITUDE DOESN T MAKE YOU SAFE Satcom Direct s Comprehensive Cyber Security Portfolio for Business Aviation
CYBER SECURITY IS THE GREATEST THREAT TO EVERY COMPANY IN THE WORLD. IBM CEO GINNI ROMETTY
SD CYBER SECURITY SERVICES Being in a business aircraft doesn t exempt you from a cyber threat. In fact, your company s data security is vulnerable on two fronts. First is the technology front. Even with the most secure devices or the latest security software, it s always a matter of trying to stay one step ahead of the hackers. If the leading security experts working at the world s most security-conscious companies are kept up at night worrying about the vulnerability of their security controls you should be, too. The second front in the battle for cyber security is human error. Even if your IT department is doing everything right to protect the company from an attack, more often than not a breach happens because of a simple unknowing mistake by an employee or a vendor. To properly protect your company from the next cyber-attack, you need a combination of both the latest technology and the right procedures and only Satcom Direct (SD) offers both. SD offers the industry s most comprehensive portfolio of security services, including: 1. NETWORK DISCOVERY The SD Cyber Security team evaluates your state-of-the-network and current security processes and provides a complimentary consultation. 2. SECURITY RISK ASSESSMENT SD offers a full onsite risk assessment to help you understand and identify threats to your environment both on-wing and at the hangar. 3. RISK MITIGATION AND THREAT MONITORING SERVICES SD offers a variety of enhanced threat analysis and prevention solutions, such as Antivirus, Modern Malware Protection and Threat Intelligence services. 4. SD PRIVATE NETWORK (SDPN) The SDPN is a global communications framework that allows satellite connectivity providers to connect to the aircraft through the SD Data Center and its multiple points of presence (POPs) worldwide avoiding the public internet and protecting user communications and data.

SD CYBER SECURITY SD PRIVATE NETWORK The ultimate in protection, the SD Private Network routes encrypted data from the aircraft all the way back to corporate headquarters without ever touching the public internet. A common scene in a business aircraft cabin is multiple passengers busy using their own devices. In an ideal world, each passenger would be using a secure, individual VPN. However, all it takes is for one passenger to forget to use the VPN one time and suddenly your entire network is exposed. WHY TAKE THE RISK? The SD Private Network eliminates the need for passengers to use individual VPN connections. Think of it as another layer of defense against the human factor. With the SDPN, all your airborne data traffic can be delivered from the aircraft directly to your corporate network, bypassing public routing over the internet. You can then apply your corporate security policies to handle, block or deliver information according to your specifications. With SDPN, you make your aircraft onboard network operate as an extension of your corporate office. HOW IT WORKS The SD Private Network is a global communications framework that interconnects with satellite connectivity providers via the SD Data Center (see below) and SD s multiple points of presence (POPs), worldwide. This allows the application of SD proprietary valueadded services to: Improve data throughput Filter unwanted data transmissions to and from the aircraft Encrypt traffic along the entire data path As a direct result of these enhancements, you get a better user experience than any other service provider can offer even over the same satellite network. With POPs located in the US and Europe, SD offers flexible routing and addressing options to meet various corporate policies and regulatory requirements.

NETWORK DISCOVERY IN ACTION After reviewing a company s self-assessment questionnaire, SD s Cyber Security team discovered that an aircraft router was still using factory default passwords making it extremely vulnerable to hacking. Once identified, SD worked with the company to eliminate the risk by creating a password management policy. SECURITY RISK ASSESSMENT IN ACTION During an onsite assessment, the SD Cyber Security team that an agreement in place for IT data protection was out of date. As a result, SD performed a vendor audit and brought the vendor s security compliance in line with the flight department s latest policies. RISK MITIGATION AND THREAT MONITORING SERVICES IN ACTION Using SD threat monitoring tools, SD s Cyber Security team detected an inbound threat on a customer s aircraft. SD identified it, stopped it and traced it to its source an employee s laptop thus eliminating the threat and preventing the virus before it caused any harm. SD PRIVATE NETWORK IN ACTION Even though a flight department s IT policy recommended that passengers use individual VPN connections, SD s Cyber Security team discovered that the company s data was at risk because VPNs weren t being used consistently. Implementing SDPN solved that issue, increased connection speeds and reduced the company s data cost.
