‘World’s First’ Aviation Cyber Security Firm Expands Into US

Israeli aviation cyber security company Cyviation has expanded into the United States, opening its first headquarters in New York. 

The Herzliya-based Cyviation, which says it is the first-ever company to focus on cyber security for aircraft, works to provide multiple levels of safety, from crew training to security information and event management (SIEM). 

Founded in 2021, Cyviation works with both commercial and private aircraft, helping them to mitigate risk to passengers and cargo and to meet current and future aviation security regulations. 

The company said it has also secured an American patent for its innovative technology to identify cyber threats within an aircraft’s cockpit and avionics systems. 

The company’s expansion into the US market will be led by its chairman Arik Arad, who will head the New York office. 

“In a time marked by unprecedented international risks and escalating cyber threats, our dedication lies in furnishing the aviation industry with unmatched cybersecurity safeguards, ultimately heightening safety standards,” said Arad. 

“I am enthusiastic about the positive impact our global presence will bring, ensuring that clients worldwide will also benefit from the superior safety protocols Cyviation offers,” he said. 

“We are thrilled to embark on this new chapter, expanding our cybersecurity solutions to North America and broadening our global footprint,” said  Cyviation CEO Avi Tenenbaum. 

“As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, our mission remains steadfast: to empower the aviation industry with robust defenses and proactive strategies. This expansion marks a significant milestone in our journey to fortify businesses worldwide against ever-growing cyber risks.”
