The video below presents SATIE Scenario 5: The False ATCO

This threat scenario targets the Air Traffic Management (ATM). The Air Traffic Controllers (ATCOs)/Apron Control are stressed and distracted due to a chain of cyber-attacks on the computer systems. A second attack is then performed to issue some fake clearances and movement advice to aircraft potentially causing collisions of aircraft full of passengers.
