Aviation Cybersecurity

Validity: 24 months

The interconnection of systems and networks, and the data sharing between multiple systems and stakeholders require a cross-domain cybersecurity approach for the aviation community. In that perspective, cybersecurity becomes the responsibility of everyone – starting from the top office and across all levels in the organization.

In this module, you will understand that successful cybersecurity culture will shape the security thinking of one’s staff and improve resilience against cyber threats without imposing burdensome security steps.
