Key Learnings:
As British Airlines, Air Canada and Cathay Pacific learned, falling prey to a website or mobile app security incident is a real risk. With more consumers making direct travel purchases online, the airline industry needs to better protect digital assets. Inability to identify and secure the code that renders on consumer devices is a serious problem. On average, the Airline sector experienced:
- 92% of executing domains are from third-party vendors, decreasing throughout 2023
- 0% high-risk domains, on average, in all airlines
- 2% month-over-month domain variability, calming since March spike
- 68 year cookie remains the largest tracker, affecting 1 website
- 67 domains, on average, execute when consumers access the home page
- 1.35MB avg JavaScript download size, starting to flatten since July
