Guidebook on Airport Cybersecurity and Incident Response

The objective of this research is to develop a guidebook that complements and expands on ACRP Report 140: Guidebook on Best Practices for Airport Cybersecurity for airports of all sizes. The guidebook will included guidelines to help airport employees and their stakeholders develop a playbook to prepare, detect, respond, and recover from all types of cybersecurity incidents. The guidebook should focus on systems that airports own and/or manage. Additionally, the updated guidebook should provide, at a minimum: a discussion of best practices that have emerged since ACRP Report 140 was published; a thorough review of ransomware attacks; an overview of emerging threat vectors; a review and analysis of new and updated policies, laws, and regulations pertinent to U.S. airports; and an overview of the current resources available to U.S. airports. It should also include an executive summary for airport leadership.
