Cybersecurity Risk Mitigation

Course Summary

 

The aviation industry is extremely vast and handles an incredible amount of data, whether that be regarding customer information or any data that contributes to the organisation’s daily functions. To ensure all functions and processes can continue without interruption, there must be a strong focus on implementing and maintaining a cybersecurity system. 


 

 

Managing cybersecurity is essential for maintaining the security of any electronic system housing important data. To successfully secure this data, it is crucial to conduct regular risk audits of the system to identify all hazards and risks that have the probability to occur. This information later must be categorised and prioritised to allow for preventative and corrective actions to be decided on and integrated.


 

 

Cybersecurity risk mitigation is a vital step within the process of cybersecurity. Preventing risks before they can occur is ideal when it comes to preserving business functions. There are a number of risk mitigation strategies that can be implemented within the system, and individuals involved must be competent at understanding how these work, monitoring their performance and recognising any faults as they occur.


 


 

During this course, you’ll learn:


 

To understand the vitality of cybersecurity and risk mitigation within an organisation.
To identify what regional laws and regulations are relevant within aviation industries and how they may apply.
To analyse various models for cybersecurity and their benefits and limitations, including the UK CAA Cybersecurity Oversight Process for Aviation (CAP1753).
To assess good standards and practices of aviation cybersecurity and recognise these within different aviation organisations.
 To investigate data, categorising and prepare evidence for regular cybersecurity audits.
To comprehend the synergy between safety management systems (SMS) and security management systems (SeMS).
To evaluate the consequences of poor cybersecurity and a lack of risk mitigation.

 

This course is designed for anyone within the aviation industry who is responsible for managing information systems and maintaining cybersecurity. It would be most beneficial for:


 

IT Engineers
Chief Information Officers (CIOs)
IT Managers
Cybersecurity Managers
Risk Managers
Risk Analysts
Compliance Officers

 

This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review case studies of existing cybersecurity systems to highlight key protective features and areas they may be open to improvement.


 

 

To fully engage with the learning methods, the participants will be provided with all the necessary tools and equipment. They will partake in a combination of presentations, group discussions, practical demonstrations, and group activities. This collection of learning methods will ensure the participants will fully develop their knowledge and skills relating to the taught content.
