Building Cyber Resilience Across the Aviation Ecosystem
Virtual Event | 9:30 AM ET | June 23
Presented By
2026 Sponsor
The aviation industry is facing a pivotal moment. New regulatory mandates now require airlines to assess all corporate assets for cyber risk—including the aircraft itself. Yet across the industry, cybersecurity teams and aircraft maintenance and operations teams often operate in silos, with limited coordination and no shared framework for managing aircraft cyber risk.
The Cyber Aviation Global Forum, sponsored by Cyviation and presented by Royal Media and Cargo Facts, is a digital event designed to close this gap. More than a discussion of threats, the Forum focuses on actionable solutions, operational alignment, regulatory clarity, and scalable service models that can move the commercial aviation industry forward immediately. Our goal is also to bring together disparate ends of the aviation industry for meaningful information-sharing and virtual networking.
Designed as a high-impact, executive-level digital event, the Cyber Aviation Global Forum features:
- Fireside chats with industry leaders
- Multi-stakeholder regulatory panels
- Operator case studies
- Interactive audience engagement
- And more…
“Timely initiative. The convergence of regulatory pressure and real-world incidents makes a dedicated aviation cybersecurity forum essential right now. In Europe, EASA Part-IS compliance deadlines are driving airlines and airports to build cybersecurity programs from scratch, often without sector-specific benchmarks. Globally, the threat landscape has shifted: the Collins Aerospace MUSE breach, the Shiny Hunters leak at a European low-cost carrier, and increasing ransomware targeting MROs all demonstrate that aviation is no longer a secondary target. Forums like this serve a critical function: they create the cross-functional dialogue between CISOs, safety officers, and regulators that no single organization can replicate internally. From Boeing consulting engagements, the number one gap airlines cite is not technology but access to peers who have navigated the same regulatory and operational challenges. Looking forward to June 23. Views my own.”
-Roberto Russo, Cybersecurity Engagement Director, Boeing
Key Focus
Operational Integration
A core focus of the Cyber Aviation Global Forum is operational integration. Aircraft systems are highly regulated, complex environments where downtime is unacceptable. Traditional IT-based approaches are often impractical.
Sessions will explore virtual aircraft modeling and simulation for risk assessment without operational impact, risk-based aircraft security frameworks, and governance models that align CISO, maintenance, and executive leadership.
Compliance
Regulations now require comprehensive risk management frameworks that include aircraft systems. In addition to the FAA’s RTCA DO-326A; DO-356A and DO-355A, EASA’s Organizational Cybersecurity Guidelines, known as Part-IS, are going into effect. However, many airlines lack clarity on implementation—what constitutes sufficient assessment, where responsibility lies, and how to conduct risk evaluations without disrupting operations.
Service Models
Major OEMs and service providers are developing integrated cybersecurity suites that combine risk analysis, monitoring, compliance reporting, and aircraft-specific solutions under unified platforms. The Forum examines how airlines evaluate and procure holistic solutions, how subscription and per-aircraft service models are evolving, and how mixed fleets and private operators can implement scalable protections.
