Dr Rebekah Tanti-Dougall, a legal expert in aviation security, argues that the aviation industry needs to be proactive in addressing the cyber threat. She draws parallels between the failure of imagination that led to the 9/11 attacks and the industry’s current lack of preparation for cyberattacks. Tanti-Dougall emphasises the importance of training in cybersecurity for aviation personnel, stating that such training is crucial for establishing a strong first line of defence against cyber threats. She also highlights the need for a cybersecurity culture within the aviation industry to ensure resilience against cyberattacks.
