WHAT?
What is this training about?
The rapid digitalisation of the aviation ecosystem—including connected aircraft, next-generation avionics, CNS/ATM systems, airports, and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)—is transforming aviation while introducing new cybersecurity risks.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, aviation organisations must develop the knowledge, processes, and governance needed to protect their operations, ensure regulatory compliance, and strengthen organisational resilience.
This training provides a comprehensive introduction to aviation cybersecurity, explaining the applicable regulatory framework, industry standards, and best practices for implementing effective cybersecurity management within aviation organisations.
Developed around the cybersecurity standards published by EUROCAE aviation standards organization Working Group 72, the course helps participants understand how to apply the ED-201A, ED-202A, ED-203A, ED-204A, ED-205A, and ED-206 documents through practical examples and hands-on exercises.
