Why Aviation and Airport Systems Get Breached
Airports run on passenger data, biometric identity, airline APIs, cargo systems, OT, and critical safety infrastructure, 24/7, with zero tolerance for downtime. Decades of legacy systems, rapid digital transformation, and dozens of third-party vendors create perfect conditions for exposures to go unvalidated.
Ethiack delivers the most advanced adversarial exposure validation available. AI-powered. Built to validate what attackers can actually exploit across airport operations, passenger safety systems, and critical aviation infrastructure.

How Ethiack Secures Aviation and Airports
Hackian, our AI Pentest Agent, executes deep, realistic and adaptive pentests designed for the scale, complexity and operational sensitivity of modern airports.
- Context-aware AI agents test continuously and exhaustively across hybrid airport environments
- Hackian uncovers real-world attack paths spanning passenger systems, operational platforms and back-office infrastructure
- Full coverage across check-in and boarding systems, baggage handling, airport apps, internal portals, APIs, and integrations with airlines, ground handlers and government agencies
- Intelligent enough to detect logic flaws, chained exploits and operational exposures that traditional scanners can't see
- Human ethical hacking expertise comes on top to deliver unmatched quality
- Retesting included, so fixes are verified quickly without extra cost or scheduling delays

- .01Passenger data exposure across booking, check-in and loyalty systems
- .02API vulnerabilities across airline, ground-handler, customs and border integrations
- .03Authentication and access control weaknesses across operational and back-office systems
- .04Privilege escalation between corporate IT, operational technology and airside systems
- .05Biometric and identity system misconfigurations
- .06Baggage handling, departure control and boarding system exposures
- .07OT, ICS and SCADA misconfigurations affecting critical airport infrastructure
- .08Ransomware-enabling exposures across legacy aviation systems
- .09Supply-chain and third-party integration risks across vendors, concessionaires and service providers

Ethiack's combination of AI pentesting and human expertise brought a unique perspective to our security challenges. Their continuous monitoring of our attack surface and in-depth manual testing of our internal systems have transformed how we approach cybersecurity. Ethiack teaches us to think like attackers, making us better equipped to handle threats proactively.
- Miguel DinisTransportes Metropolitanos de Lisboa
It's extremely important for us to know everything about our attack surface, and you've managed to find multiple assets that were completely unaware to us.
- Rui Pereira, Aegon Santander Portugal
Best service in this category. I use Ethiack to perform security tests and get a complete overview of our company's critical assets. This product has made vulnerability management so efficient and straightforward, allowing us to focus on and optimize resources. Not to mention the excellent support and promptness . Can't recommend it enough. - Luis Valente, Sonae MC
I’ve been genuinely impressed by Ethiack's work. Unlike traditional point-in-time audits, they provide continuous security testing, which has given us a lot of peace of mind by catching vulnerabilities in real-time. - Pedro Zeferino, NOS
We have lots of security solutions, but I look at Ethiack first, because I know that when Ethiack alerts us, it’s always valid and most probably serious. - Pedro Cunha, Broadvoice
Before Ethiack, it wasn't easy to deal with all the asks and requests coming from clients. Now, Ethiack checks all our landscape and tests every potential entry point. - Luis Gravato, Sumol Compal
It's been very useful to identify assets we didn't even know we had. You've found multiple assets that were completely hidden from us. - João Annes, ANA Aeroportos

The way Ethiack incorporates EASM with AI Pentesting has brought us simplicity and proactivity in solving large-scale problems. As a group with so many companies and exposed assets, doing this work manually was simply impossible. The main transformation was the gaining a complete view on our surface, which we previously lacked. What we have publicly exposed, their vulnerabilities, and our impact in the cyberspace. - Sergio Quental, Bluepharma
Great product. Having the ability to calculate the ROI of Ethiack is perfect, as it makes board conversations much easier. - Silvio Mello, Jumia
Ethiack brings lots of value to Jumia. We launched a Honey Pot to test your capabilities, and you exploited it in under 10 minutes. - Francisco Vaz, Plasfil
We really like the product and I can tell you that it is important to have this tool. Excelent information about our security flaws. - André Alves, ComplianceWiseEthiack remains our stalwart guardian, upholding the integrity of our digital infrastrcuture. Its real-time monitoring and comprehensive testing ensure no vulnerability goes unnoticed. Ethiack's strategic insights allow us to prioritize actions, take proactive measures fast, and optimize resources.
- Wagner Caixeta, BaladAPP
We continuously receive reports on vulnerabilities, including detailed guides on exploitation and mitigation. Learning how attacks happen allows us to develop products with greater security. We had a massive transfer of knowledge from the high proficiency of the hackers assigned to us. I highly recommend it.
