Discussing the event, James Nesbitt, founder of Cyber Senate, commented: “Emerging smart technologies are already enabling greater operational efficiencies and improved performance in the aviation sector, but they also introduce a new element of risk.

“The convergence of IT and operational technology may well mean that the sector works smarter, but also means that security teams need to work significantly harder at mitigating and managing the threat posed by cyber attacks.
“This event will help attendees identify what specific risks are relevant to their business, how to embed the right level of resilience throughout their organisation and how to detect, respond to and – crucially – recover from cyber attacks.
“The increasing digitalisation of our sector is a huge opportunity. This event will equip leaders in the industry to ensure they can enjoy the benefits while minimising the risks.”
