Third cyber security training in 2023

Videoconference, 21-23 March 2023 — Aviation experts from Sweden and Switzerland participated in a Best Practices for National Auditors – Cyber Security (basic) training course, aimed at strengthening their understanding of cyber threats to aviation and cyber security measures.

The three-day course reviewed international and European (ECAC/EU) requirements and recommendations for cyber security in aviation, common cyber threats, key aviation entities and their critical systems. Through the theoretical presentations, discussions and virtual activities, the participants gained a deeper understanding of best practices for inspecting/auditing the key cyber security measures in aviation, including security by design, supply chain security, access control, control of software installations, personnel security, cyber attack detection and response.

The course also provided the participants with a broad insight into the key elements of the Information Security Management System, cyber security culture and other organisational measures vital for protecting critical aviation systems and data against cyber threats.
