The UK’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has launched a scheme, developed in partnership with security certification body Crest, that it hopes will play a key role in its strategy to enable the aviation industry to manage its security risks without compromising aviation safety.
Under the Assure framework, accredited cyber security professionals will have to demonstrate “extensive” knowledge in one of three key specialisms: cyber audit and risk management; technical cyber security expert; and ICS/OT [industrial control systems/operational technology] expert.
