Abstract
A method for providing dynamic security hardening of selected aircraft functions includes: a) monitoring sequences of real-time security events for at least one aircraft function; b) accessing a database storing a plurality of sequences of attack events indicative of an attack of the at least one aircraft function; c) probabilistically inferring, by at least one processor, the location and progression of an attack represented within the database by utilizing the sequences of real-time security events; and d) activating at least one countermeasure in response to an inferred location and progression of an attack.
