Supporting climate change adaptation and resilience in the aviation sector

In this White Paper, our experts leverage predictive modeling to strengthen aviation resilience against climate change. While mitigation is vital, our study of the top 30 U.S. airports highlights a 14% rise in weather-related cancellations, demanding adaptation. This white paper provides actionable foresight into risks like extreme heat and infrastructure flooding. We empower stakeholders to identify critical thresholds and future-proof operations through industry-specific, data-driven insights.

Zero Trust Considerations for OT

Zero Trust is a critical shift in security for OT. It moves away from the old perimeter-based model by continuously verifying every user and device, which is essential as OT and IT networks become more interconnected.

Supply Chain Cybersecurity

In an era of increasing digitalisation and globalisation, businesses are increasingly reliant on complex and dispersed supply chains. While this strategy offers numerous benefits, it also exposes organisations to significant new risks, particularly in the realm of cybersecurity. This white paper explores why supply chain cybersecurity management has become crucial and proposes concrete strategies to address this complex challenge.

Human Factors Framework Development

This white paper discusses the research and development of a Human Factors (HF) Assessment Framework by CCUK Airbus. CCUK Airbus have been involved in several socio-technical vulnerability assessments for the Ministry of Defence (MoD) since 2017, during which the lack of a suitable opensource HF assessment tool became apparent. A suitable framework would allow the team to assess the organisation in a consistent way which is easily understandable for the customer.

The Airbus Approach for Cyber Security in the Rail Sector

The rail sector is shifting to a new paradigm of digitalisation to bring in efficiencies to counter the increased demands of travelling passengers and goods transport, while ensuring the highest safety and security of the infrastructure. To achieve this goal, Rail Operators have adopted modern systems combining IT and IoT technologies. Digital transformation strategies within the Rail sector include more connectivity for Industrial Control Systems (ICS), increasing their exposure and potentially making them more vulnerable and exposed to cyber-attacks.

Risk and Compliance two complementary approaches

Companies face multiple risks. Knowing how to manage and take risks is part of the daily life of a CEO or an entrepreneur. Cybersecurity risks are among the most complex to manage. They prove to be systemic due to the latest digitization trends and they evolve as fast as the attackers.

A security model for distributed critical systems

This document presents a security architecture model for critical, distributed systems. As a model, it is a good tool to simplify analysis on complex systems, and is useful both in assessing existing systems, where divergence from the model points to probable security issues, and building new systems, where fitting in the model guarantees past experience is taken into account.

Approaches for applying MITRE ATT&CK framework in EBIOS RM Operational Scenarios

This study explores different approaches for using MITRE ATT&CK (a knowledge base of past security incidents) as a risk identification technique, within the frame of EBIOS RM (a security risk assessment methodology). It discusses the relevance of these approaches, and of the overall use of MITRE ATT&CK for risk assessment.
