Airport Cybersecurity Case Study with Dragos

This case study details the implementation of the Dragos OT Cybersecurity Platform at an international airport, focusing on enhancing operational technology (OT) security. The airport's cybersecurity team, established in the late 2010s, evolved its approach to become business enablers rather than mere enforcers. A key strategy involved threat modeling and conducting tabletop exercises to assess the impact of potential cyber incidents. These exercises provided insights into vulnerabilities and helped align executive and operational teams. The Dragos platform was selected for its advanced visibility and holistic detection capabilities, which improved the airport's cybersecurity posture and operational efficiency. The platform also facilitated compliance by providing lifecycle status of technology assets. Additionally, the airport plans to expand its OT footprint with new technologies, ensuring they are secured by Dragos. Overall, the case study illustrates the importance of proactive cybersecurity measures in critical infrastructure.
