Defining the scope of 'cyber' is crucial to focus on critical areas and avoid unnecessary complications. Understanding the aviation-specific regulatory context ensures compliance with industry standards and legal requirements.

Airport-specific cyber threats need to be identified and managed effectively. Recognizing the potential attack surface of an airport includes identifying all points of unauthorized access. Insight into types and nature of attacks aids in preparation and response strategies. Cyber insurances offer financial protection against cyber incidents.

Partnering with corporate functions like ESM, ITSM, GRC, and IT Architecture ensures a comprehensive approach to cyber security. A Business Impact Analysis (BIA) and Risk Assessment (RA) help prioritize actions and allocate resources.

AI can enhance cyber resilience by improving threat detection and response. Automation streamlines processes and allows focus on complex issues. Defining cyber resilience roles ensures clear responsibilities. A self-assessment identifies strengths and areas for improvement.

Balancing levels of protection involves assessing risks and implementing appropriate measures. Continuous improvement through the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle ensures ongoing enhancements.

Finally, a 7-step action plan to improve cyber resilience provides a structured approach to enhance security posture against cyber threats.
