Join Airbus Protect at the Cyber Senate Aviation Cybersecurity Summit

Airbus Protect is co-sponsoring the Aviation Cybersecurity Cyber Senate conference in London on September 23rd and 24th. Here is how you can connect with our team at the event…

Summary

For the second year running, Airbus Protect is proud to be a sponsor of Cyber Senate’s Aviation Cybersecurity Conference, taking place on September 23rd and 24th at the Crowne Plaza Kings Cross in London.

This year’s event, focused on “Risk to Resilience: Strengthening Aviation Through Cybersecurity and Operational Maturity,” will bring together industry leaders to discuss the most pressing cybersecurity challenges facing the aviation sector.

You’ll have four opportunities to hear directly from our Airbus Protect experts:

Opening Panel Discussion:

Airbus Protect’s Head of Managed Services, Philippe Verhe, will share his insights on the Global Aviation Cybersecurity Outlook: Risk, Readiness, and What Comes Next. He’ll join other leaders to explore the current threat landscape and future strategies for aviation cybersecurity. As aviation accelerates its digital transformation, cybersecurity has become inseparable from safety, operational continuity, and public trust. In recent months, targeted cyberattacks and ransomware incidents have disrupted airports, airlines, and critical services — revealing new levels of systemic vulnerability. This opening panel explores the evolving cyber risk landscape in aviation and the strategic responses required to meet the challenges ahead.

Part-IS: Going Beyond Compliance:

Don’t miss the presentation by Airbus Protect Cybersecurity Consultant and Auditor, Dr. Thaddeus Eze. He’ll delve into the complexities of Part-IS, EASA’s latest regulation on information security and safety and outline the Airbus Protect roadmap for adherence. Thaddeus will cover:

  • The foundational elements for a strong compliance framework.
  • Common challenges faced by the Part-IS community.
  • Strategies for lean and effective implementation.
  • Future trends and advancements to help you stay ahead.

With the compliance deadline approaching (October 2025 and February 2026) time is of the essence for achieving compliance.

Panel: Bridging the Gap Toward Practical Harmonisation of Aviation Cybersecurity Standards:

Dr Thaddeus Eze from Airbus Protect will also join this panel identifying friction points in the implementation of key aviation cybersecurity regulations, including Part-IS, AVSEC, NIS2, and EASA’s CS-AIR framework. The discussion will propose pathways toward practical harmonisation, balancing the need for global regulatory oversight with the realities of local interpretation and implementation.

Finally, visit our exhibition stand:

Our team of experts will be on hand throughout the event at the Airbus Protect exhibition stand. This is your chance to meet the team, discuss your broader cybersecurity challenges, and learn how Airbus Protect can help you strengthen your cyber resilience.

Aviation Cybersecurity is an excellent opportunity to network with industry peers and learn from experts. If you are interested in attending, please contact our team for tickets. We look forward to seeing you there.
