The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is set to propose new cybersecurity regulations aimed at manufacturers of newly built aircraft and their components, including engines and propellers. This initiative, which will be formally announced in the Federal Register, seeks to address existing gaps in aircraft cybersecurity protocols. The proposed rules are part of a broader effort to enhance security measures in the aviation sector, reflecting growing concerns over cyber threats. Additionally, discussions around cybersecurity have surfaced in political contexts, with critiques noting that the Democratic party platform lacks substantial focus on cyber issues.
