Why Cybersecurity Is Mission-Critical for Air Traffic Management

Are you responsible for air traffic safety, critical infrastructure, or aviation cybersecurity? Staying ahead of today’s sophisticated cyber threats is essential. 

Watch the replay of this webinar on Cyber Risk Assessment for Air Traffic Management hosted by Thales Cyber Services and Air Traffic Management (ATM) experts, in collaboration with SMATSA (Serbia and Montenegro Air Traffic Services Agency).

Strengthening ATC Cybersecurity: Why It Matters

Air traffic control (ATC) centers are vital to the safety and efficiency of global airspace. With increasing digitalization and system complexity, ATC cybersecurity faces more threats than ever before. Ransomware, supply chain attacks, and system vulnerabilities can disrupt regional airspace safety, impact flight schedules, and compromise national security.

What You’ll Learn: Proven Methods & Real-World Results

This essential webinar brings together Thales cyber services experts and ATM specialists, along with the SMATSA team, to share cutting-edge strategies for cyber risk analysis tailored specifically to the air traffic control sector.
