Zurich, Switzerland
26.02.2024 - 28.02.2024
Technology and cyber systems have become essential to modern society in many activities involving information technology.
Civil aviation is nowadays making also more use of cyber enabled technology to increase safety and efficiency of the air transport.
Along with the benefit of the cyber technologies however, insecurities like cyber threat and cyber-attack arise. These insecurities have also stronger impacts when the systems are interconnected (like for example air navigation systems, on-board aircraft control and communication systems, airport ground systems, flight information systems, security screening etc.)
The tendency of the aviation industry to become increasingly digitalized creates therefore the ground for new aviation safety risks to emerge.
This course will provide the trainees with all necessary knowledge, tools and methodologies in Cybersecurity in order to acquire the required competence to face and mitigate those risks.
Objectives
This course aims at providing solid foundations on Cybersecurity topics for non- Cybersecurity experts; considering how this topic is more and more permeating every aspects of Business, Operations, Compliance, Audit, Risk Management, etc. , an understanding of Cybersecurity will allow you (as Domain expert in your function) to recognize/identify common security threats and risks, discuss them using a common language with the Cybersecurity experts, understand the “what” and “how” of cyber-attacks, grasp and establish the link between your domain of expertise and Cybersecurity, and much more. In essence, we will provide you with a Cybersecurity “Swiss Army knife” and will train you on how to pick the most effective “tool for the job”.
