Course Description

This course provides trainees with an overview of international and national regulations, as well as the responsibilities towards the National Aviation Authority and ANSP, along with an introduction to critical infrastructure.

The transportation industry, including aviation, is experiencing a rapid technological evolution. Common Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products are extensively utilized, communication protocols are standardized, and information communication technologies are replacing legacy systems. This technological shift propels us into the digital era of aviation, introducing a critical concern: cybersecurity. Systems are no longer isolated; they are interconnected, creating opportunities for malicious activities.

In the backdrop of a new era featuring autonomous aerial weapons and an increased reliance on cyber warfare, the importance of cybersecurity has never been more pronounced. Criminal elements are seeking to exploit vulnerabilities across various industrial sectors, including banking, critical infrastructures, e-commerce, and aviation. With the continual digitization and integration of services, these threats are becoming more tangible.

To ensure effective protection, it is imperative to comprehend both the broader landscape and the intricacies of cybersecurity. Enhancing security levels is crucial because, in cybersecurity, the strength of the weakest link determines the overall level of protection.
