As an important part of the modern logistics system, air cargo has the important mission of transporting all kinds of goods. With its high efficiency and speed, it meets the global market's demand for timely supply of goods. Behind this is a huge and complex operation system involving route planning, flight scheduling, cargo loading and unloading, warehouse management and other links.

At the same time, the cyber world is becoming increasingly complex. Attack methods such as the malicious code "WhisperGate" have caused great damage to the systems of the Ukrainian government and enterprises. This has not only affected the normal operation of the local area, but also aroused great concern about cybersecurity around the world.

So, what is the connection between air cargo and cyber attacks? First of all, from the information level, air cargo relies on highly digital information systems for operation and management. Cargo tracking, flight scheduling, customer information processing, etc., all rely on the support of information technology. Once these information systems are attacked by cyber attacks, it may lead to serious consequences such as data leakage, flight delays, and cargo loss. For example, if the flight scheduling system is attacked, it may cause flight chaos and affect the timely delivery of cargo to the destination.

Secondly, from the perspective of the supply chain, air cargo is a key link in the global supply chain. A cyber attack may damage a node in the supply chain, triggering a chain reaction. For example, if the system of an important parts supplier is attacked and it is unable to deliver goods on time, this may affect the manufacturing companies that rely on these parts, and then affect related products transported by air cargo.

In addition, air cargo also faces reputational risks from cyber attacks. Once a cybersecurity incident related to air cargo occurs, it may cause public concerns about the safety and reliability of air cargo, thus affecting customer choices and the development of the industry.

In the face of such potential connections and risks, the air cargo industry needs to take a series of measures to strengthen network security protection. This includes strengthening the security of information systems, adopting advanced encryption technology, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, etc., to ensure data security and stable system operation. At the same time, it is also necessary to establish a sound emergency response mechanism so that once a network attack occurs, measures can be taken quickly to reduce losses.

In addition, it is also crucial to strengthen the network security awareness training of employees. Employees are the direct users of information systems. If they lack network security awareness, they may give attackers opportunities due to negligence. Through training, employees can understand the common means and prevention methods of network attacks, which can effectively reduce internal security vulnerabilities.

From a more macro perspective, the air cargo industry also needs to strengthen cooperation and communication with other industries. Cyber ​​attacks are a global problem, and no industry can be immune to them. By sharing experiences with other industries and jointly addressing challenges, the level of cybersecurity in society as a whole can be improved.

In short, although air cargo and cyber attacks seem to belong to different fields, the connection between them is becoming increasingly close. Only by fully recognizing this connection and taking effective measures to prevent it can we ensure the safe and stable development of the air cargo industry in the digital age.
