Panel discussion: Cyber in the aviation security context – defining roles and overlap

Reliance on connectivity and the internet is an increasingly critical feature of aviation security programs. Access control systems, identity management systems, CCTV camera systems, dispatch systems, notification systems and intelligence and information systems are all becoming increasingly interrelated and reliant on cyber connections. In many instances, these can be related to commercial and operational systems. As use of and reliance on cyber expands, so do attack surfaces. All this has occurred as the instances of cyberattacks are on the rise. For aviation cyber experts, there is a significant challenge in hiring and retaining cyber talent to address the current threat landscape, including scaling cyber penetration and threat mitigation practices.

The audience will learn:

• Who needs to be involved in cybersecurity planning and response
• How to develop a collaborative environment with a range of stakeholders seeking to address and respond to growing cyber threats
• How cyberattacks have worked to threaten and impair security systems
• How practices and technologies can be employed to mitigate threats
• How response activities can be shaped to respond to attacks once they occur
