EUROPEAN CIVIL AVIATION CONFERENCE - CONFÉRENCE EUROPÉENNE DE L'AVIATION CIVILE

Cyber security training for national auditors

1-3 February 2022 and 7-9 February 2022 - The ECAC Secretariat delivered two online Best Practices for National Auditors – Cyber Security (Basic) training courses to national auditors from Denmark (1-3 February) and Romania (7-9 February). The course programme was designed to strengthen participants’ understanding of cyber threats to civil aviation, and covered topics such as the cyber threat actors, possible threat scenarios, and the key elements of cyber risk management.

Through a combination of theoretical presentations, discussion and virtual activities, the participants learnt about the protection measures to be implemented by operators and entities to address cyber threats. This included security by design, supply chain security, access control, cyber security culture, and cyber incident detection and response.

The training also focused on how to be better prepared for an inspection of cyber security measures in aviation, and how to conduct the on-site inspection.
