Aviation & travel

Find the exposures attackers can reach across your travel business

Booking sites, APIs, airport systems and supplier connections all face the internet. Hadrian maps them continuously, tests what an attacker could exploit and sends your team only validated findings.

Customer story

2025

One supplier, many airports

In September 2025, ransomware hit systems supporting Collins Aerospace's MUSE software, which lets airlines share check-in desks and gates. Heathrow, Brussels, Berlin and Dublin airports were affected and fell back on manual processes. A single supplier platform can disrupt operations at many airports at once.

Remote access into booking and payment systems

In 2018 an attacker logged into a British Airways Citrix gateway with a Swissport employee's credentials, which had no multi-factor authentication. They then edited JavaScript on britishairways.com to copy card data to their own domain. About 429,612 people were affected, and the UK ICO fined BA £20 million.

Ransomware on airport operators

In August 2024, Rhysida ransomware hit the Port of Seattle, which runs Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Baggage handling, check-in kiosks, ticketing, Wi-Fi, passenger display boards, the airport website and the flySEA app were affected. The Port refused to pay the ransom.

How Hadrian helps

Keep one live inventory across every business unit

Partnerships, acquisitions and new digital services add domains faster than a spreadsheet can track. Atlas starts with no scope, finds assets the way an attacker would and picks up new or forgotten ones within hours. A travel technology group used Hadrian to replace fragmented inventories with one real-time view.

Test booking sites, APIs and payment pages in depth

Customer-facing systems hold passenger data and payments. Hadrian tests API endpoints and Content Security Policy settings, the blind spots Breeze Airways' earlier tools couldn't reach. Before a release, Nova runs an agentic pentest on the web app or API you choose.

Give a lean team only confirmed risks

Every exposure Atlas reports is validated before your team is notified and comes with reproduction steps for that asset. Breeze's CISO says it saved the team days of sifting through noise. Findings can go straight to Jira, ServiceNow or Microsoft Teams.

Map every asset, including acquired brands

Continuous discovery finds the domains, IPs, certificates and APIs tied to your organization, including assets that arrive with an acquisition or partnership. An M&A assessment is available as an Atlas add-on.

Catch leaked credentials before they're used

The BA breach started with a supplier employee's login. Hadrian monitors the dark web for infostealer infections and compromised credentials tied to your domains, including session cookies, with guidance to contain each one.

Pentest a booking flow on demand

Nova runs agentic pentests against the apps and APIs you define. Most tests finish within 24 to 48 hours, with reproduction steps, remediation guidance and a report you can share with auditors.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does NIS2 apply to airlines and airports?
+

NIS2 lists air transport as a sector of high criticality in Annex I. That includes air carriers, airport managing bodies and air traffic control operators. Each EU country sets the details in national law. Hadrian supports the risk management NIS2 asks for, such as knowing your assets and testing them. It does not certify compliance.

How does Hadrian relate to EASA Part-IS?
+

Part-IS requires organizations in scope to identify and manage information security risks that could affect aviation safety. Regulation (EU) 2022/1645 applies from 16 October 2025 and Regulation (EU) 2023/203 from 22 February 2026. Hadrian's asset discovery and validated findings support that risk identification for internet-facing systems. It does not make you compliant on its own.

Will testing disrupt booking or check-in systems?
+

Hadrian is built to test live production systems. Its agents draw from a shared rate budget, so parallel testing can't overload an application, and destructive methods such as HTTP DELETE are left out of their toolkits. With Nova, you decide exactly what gets tested.

Can Hadrian cover subsidiaries and acquired brands?
+

Yes. Atlas discovers assets tied to your organization without needing a starting scope, so it finds domains and services that came with an acquisition. A travel technology group used Hadrian to apply one security standard across business units and newly acquired companies. Atlas also offers an M&A assessment add-on.

Do we need to install anything?
+

No. Hadrian runs from the cloud and tests from the outside in, with no agents or sensors to deploy. Atlas deploys in under five minutes.
