A one-hour FlightGlobal-hosted webinar discussing how aerospace and aviation companies and other organisations in the industry can both guard against a cyber-attack and manage any crisis that results from such an attack.
In recent months alone, businesses including ST Aerospace and EasyJet have been in the news after suffering cyber security attacks. The threat to the industry is real and growing.
Our expert panel will discuss the extent of the threat and what firms can do to protect themselves both from an attack itself, and also mitigate any damage caused by a breach by having a ready crisis-management plan and a security team ready to step into action.
