Cybersecurity Risk Mitigation

Course Summary

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

 

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

 

Cybersecurity risk mitigation is a vital step in cybersecurity. Preventing risks before they occur is ideal for preserving business functions. Several risk mitigation strategies 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:
 

  • Understand the vitality of cybersecurity and risk mitigation within an organisation.
  • Identify the relevant regional laws and regulations in aviation industries and how they may apply.
  • Analyse various models for cybersecurity and their benefits and limitations, including the UK CAA Cybersecurity Oversight Process for Aviation (CAP1753).
  • Assess good standards and practices of aviation cybersecurity and recognise these within different aviation organisations.
  • Investigate data, categorise and prepare evidence for regular cybersecurity audits.
  • Comprehend the synergy between safety management systems (SMS) and security management systems (SeMS).
  • Evaluate the consequences of poor cybersecurity and a lack of risk mitigation.

This course is designed for anyone in the aviation industry 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 for improvement.

 

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