  • Systems and methods for detecting a security breach in an aircraft network
    Patent number: 9938019
    Abstract: A network system of an aircraft implements a target system to attract, detect, log, and mitigate a potential breach by the malicious entities. The target system simulates the systems of the aircraft in order to attract a potential breach. The target system simulates the data, file structure, communications, etc., of the systems of the aircraft. The target system includes little, or no security or access controls in order to attract a potential breach and allow the malicious entity to gain access. Once a breach occurs, the target system can be configured to log, report, and/or mitigate the potential breach.
