摘要

Several studies have identified the way in which drones are used to communicate to the ground controlling station. However, conducting a security analysis on the vulnerabilities of drones, that use the IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) standard (Islam in Securing your wireless network: an in-depth guide to Wi-Fi password best practices, 2024 [61]) with the use of simple hacking techniques is yet to be conducted. The research will include a literature review on the way drones are being used, operated and their communication techniques. The data analysis will identify the security vulnerabilities between the ground controlling station and the drone by conducting an ethical hack, which will use a man in the middle attack vector. The vulnerabilities will identify that if drones are not being used correctly, the vulnerabilities found could then be integrated with artificial intelligence, to create an offensive or defensive effect. The data analysis will create an awareness on how drones are currently not being governed correctly. It will then create a Drone Information Governance (DIG) framework, which will provide awareness to all drone operators. The drone information governance framework will identify the importance of data collection, which will provide guidance on how the data should be collected, protected, and stored correctly. Furthermore, this research will identify the vulnerabilities found throughout the analysis. Drones are growing within all environments, with no overarching governance to show a safe direction. It is pertinent that policies, frameworks and permissions are created to stop the identified risks growing. This research urges a DIG framework to be implemented at the earliest opportunity. Nevertheless, future work is needed.
