Videoconference, 19 September 2023 — The Study Group on Cyber Security in Civil Aviation met to review progress on the group’s 2023 work programme. Draft guidance on oversight, recruitment and training of cyber personnel in aviation authorities, and risk assessment methodology were discussed and the relevant guidance material should be finalised by the end of 2023. The group also endorsed new content and a new structure for Chapter 14 (Cyber Security) of ECAC Doc 30, Part II – Security. The purpose of this update is to merge the requirements stemming from aviation security, aviation safety and resilience legislative frameworks applicable in the European region.
A first draft of the group’s 2024 priorities was also discussed. One of the meeting’s positive outcomes was the commitment to continued active involvement by several study group members in ECAC’s cyber security capacity-building activities.
