Loss of the flying public's trust in reliable, safe, & trustworthy air travel could impact national security. While the US government & the aviation industry are working hard, individually and cooperatively, hackers are trying to get their attention and contribute, too. Understanding government work is a daunting effort that often leads to confusion, concern, and ultimately frustration that results in great work going unnoticed or unused. By providing insight into how the government makes decisions, hackers can better understand what is going on behind the scenes in aviation cybersecurity, hopefully, leading to increased trust and willingness to contribute in bolstering the cybersecurity of air travel.
