2- hour e-learning course
Strengthen your understanding of cybersecurity in today’s digital aviation landscape. As aviation becomes increasingly digital, cybersecurity is now a core component of safety, security, operational continuity, and regulatory compliance. The Aviation Cybersecurity and Part-IS Fundamentals e-learning course offers a solid introduction to aviation cybersecurity, with a dedicated focus on EASA Part-IS—the regulatory framework that defines information security requirements for the aviation sector. Throughout this course, you will explore the rapidly evolving digital environment and gain a clear understanding of aviation cybersecurity frameworks along with the regulatory foundations behind EASA Part-IS. You will learn how these requirements shape cybersecurity responsibilities across aviation organizations while building awareness of common threat actors, attack vectors, risk management principles, and best practices for protecting aviation systems and information in line with EASA Part-IS. By understanding the potential impact of cyber incidents on aviation safety, security, and operations, you will be better equipped to strengthen resilience and support robust information security practices across all aviation environments.
