Airbus SE said it has taken steps to shield itself from cyberattacks targeting the European aerospace and defense company through subcontractors’ computer systems.
The maker of passenger planes and military jets is aware of cyber events and has detection methods to respond quickly, a spokesman said on Sept 26. Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc and France’s Expleo are among four Airbus suppliers targeted, possibly from China, over the past year, Agence France-Presse reported earlier.
