Air transport tech specialist SITA has launched a new cybersecurity solution designed to safeguard critical airport and airline infrastructure.

SITA Managed NAC (Network Access Control) addressing the growing demand for secure and reliable access for end users and assets, the firm said.

It has been developed amid increasing threats to digital infrastructure, particularly in complex environments like airports.

“SITA Managed NAC offers unparalleled protection for Local Area Network (LAN) and Wireless LAN communications with additional layers of identification checks and network segmentation,” said SITA.

“This ensures that airports and airlines comply with industry security standards while maintaining operational efficiency and protecting passenger systems.”

Martin Smillie, SITA senior vice president for communications and data exchange, said: “Demand for secure and reliable network access controls is higher than ever, particularly in airports where traffic and device segregation is paramount in different areas of airport infrastructure and security zones.

“As external threats to digital infrastructure escalate, this solution will ensure that essential communication systems keep ahead, with built-in safeguards at access points and switches.

“SITA Managed NAC provides complete visibility and control over communication networks, allowing customers to monitor who is accessing what, when, and from where.”
