Global Aviation and Cybersecurity Experts Unite to Tackle Emerging Threats and Strengthen Cyber Resilience Across the Aviation Sector.

Engaging with fellow cybersecurity experts who see the need for technical, legislative, and training improvements inspires me to drive change in my organization.”

— Conference Attendee

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, September 13, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — With the rapid technological advancements and increasing cyber threats facing the aviation sector, the Aviation Cybersecurity Conference serves as a critical forum for industry stakeholders to collaborate, innovate, and strengthen cyber resilience across the global aviation ecosystem.

One of the pivotal discussions at this year’s conference will revolve around PART-IS regulations, a framework designed to enhance security within the civil aviation sector. This regulation is shaping how aviation entities approach information security by providing stricter requirements for cyber risk management and operational resilience.

As the global aviation industry increasingly relies on a vast network of third-party vendors and suppliers, the importance of Supply Chain Cybersecurity and Third-Party Risk Management cannot be overstated. Attendees will learn from leading experts how to mitigate risks within the aviation supply chain, ensuring that all partners and contractors meet stringent cybersecurity standards.

“Third-party vulnerabilities pose an escalating threat to aviation cybersecurity,” says Cyber Senate Director, Jamison Nesbitt. “The introduction of PART-IS regulations underscores the need for organizations across the aviation ecosystem to go beyond securing their internal systems. It is crucial to rigorously assess and continuously monitor the cyber hygiene of their entire supply chain. Additionally, organizations must factor in the convergence of IT and OT systems, which presents ongoing risks not explicitly addressed in PART-IS but remains a critical area for effective risk management.”

Conference sessions will delve into practical strategies for identifying and managing third-party risks, conducting vendor risk assessments, and aligning with international standards to ensure compliance with both PART-IS and broader regulatory requirements.
