Claim:
1. A system for detecting and mitigating the effects of a cyber event on an aircraft's network comprising: an air-based security information and management module that monitors the aircraft's networks and detects cyber events; a ground-based security information and management module that monitors the aircraft's networks and detects cyber events; a collaboration module that facilitates communications between the air-based security information and management module and the ground-based security information and management module, the collaboration module dynamically switching the communications to an alternate, secure channel when a cyber event is detected; a simulation module that is independent from, but functionally substantially equivalent to, the air-based security information and management module, and simulates network events that are detected on board the aircraft while the aircraft is in flight; and a cyber agent module that mitigates the effect of a cyber event on the aircraft's network while the aircraft is in flight based on information from the simulation module that is communicated by the ground-based security information and management module to the air-based security information and management module via the collaboration module.
