EASA has developed a Cybersecurity Roadmap which was endorsed by the Management Board in November 2015. Since then, EASA is working on its implementation and a number of initiatives has been launched to better address cybersecurity risks in aviation improving resilience and fostering built-in security.
Beside its institutional rulemaking activity, EASA is working at improving the international collaboration on the subject as well as at promoting the sharing of information amongst aviation stakeholders.
Our Top Priorities
The achievement of a cyber resilient aviation system and the incorporation of cybersecurity into the current safety notion require a coordinated effort of the aviation system stakeholders.
To this extent EASA participates and chair a European Strategic Coordination Platform including representatives of key industry stakeholders, Member States and EU Institutions. The collaboration is contributing at harmonising aviation stakeholder’s objectives and has made possible the development of the first common strategy for cybersecurity in aviation, in accordance with aspirations and principles stated in the agreed Charter. The involved stakeholders are also in the process of defining a common roadmap in order to implement this strategy.
To promote voluntary information sharing and expert collaboration, EASA is supporting the creation of a European Centre for Cybersecurity in Aviation (ECCSA) and providing the initial operational capabilities in collaboration with CERT-EU.
