Boeing’s Aviation Business Solutions is now offering SkyGuard cybersecurity services by providing its customers access to Cyviation’s SkyRay platform. The SkyGuard services include cyber-risk visibility for commercial and business aviation operators, as well as MROs and manufacturers.
Boeing and Cyviation have been working together since October, and the latest agreement expands on that, “positioning SkyRay as a dedicated compliance infrastructure layer available to ABS’ global customer base.”
SkyGuard’s tail-number-specific digital twin technology models each aircraft’s systems, devices, and connectivity, according to Cyviation. “SkyRay generates audit-ready evidence aligned with FAA, EASA Part-IS, and other regulatory frameworks, runs entirely non-intrusively, and has no impact on airworthiness or daily operations,” the company said.
“Aircraft are now deeply connected systems, and our clients are asking for practical, evidence-based ways to manage cyber risk across their fleets,” said Tim Sikora, cybersecurity and digital practice principal at Boeing. “SkyGuard brings together Boeing’s deep aircraft expertise with best-in-class strategic partners like Cyviation. SkyRay gives operators continuous governance and compliance readiness without touching the physical aircraft or impacting airworthiness, exactly the combination the industry needs as regulators raise the bar.”
