The authority which runs Tel Aviv ’s airports has said it blocks three million attacks on its systems each day. Laufer head of cyber and information security Laufer said the attacks were against the organisation’s “virtual fence” protecting airports and border crossings. He said while some sectors of the aviation industry had high levels of security, others had to raise their standards. He added that while Laufer ran border crossings and airports, individual airlines ran their own security. The airline sector is also unique because there are a variety of parties involved in the business — airports, airlines and aviation industry suppliers — all of whom need to work very closely with one another to make the industry tick. Regarding success in tackling attacks, the Airport Authority said the authority's challenges were “cut out for us”.
