Aerospace is a highly regulated sector, rich in standards and heritage. A Critical National Infrastructure, innovation spans evolution (planes) trending to revolution (drones to space). Things are known, things are managed. So what happens when you include cybersecurity into the mix? How can you take enough people with you to have enough practical understanding, and quickly enough? Is that an interesting enough and important challenge? (Yes obviously !). With hundreds of pages of cyber standards, guidance and frameworks, how can you cut through, and bridge the culture gap? In less than one day…This talk sets out an innovative Bowtie-based workshop method which uses regulatory material in a mash up with blue and red teaming that has great cut through (and meets good EDI principles too). It’s only a first step so the talk will set out a roadmap to including broader cybersecurity with IT/OT interactions, systems of systems, ground and air/space and the pitfalls to avoid, and challenges you may face. At the end of the talk you’ll (hopefully!) be able to connect better with serious minded safety specialists (who may not believe that cyber is their problem) and have some ideas to take back to your day jobs. You’ll have some fun getting people to ‘get’ cyber, and be better placed to work in Critical National Infrastructure industries. Topics covered Governance, risk, compliance and management Careers.
Dr Emma Taylor CISSP CEng is on a mission to bring cyber to system safety. Career mature in space, energy and transport, and a Royal Academy of Engineering Visiting Professor at Cranfield University in Digital Safety and Security, this is her first presentation at a security conference. Fun fact… Once a space apprentice in Bristol, one computer model she used is now in a NASA Shuttle museum
