The third meeting of the CYBERP/3 Group of Experts on Cybersecurity was held at the ICAO office in Montreal (Canada) from June 3 to 6, 2024.

The meeting was attended by experts from more than 40 countries and other international organizations such as IATA, AFCAC, ACI, ASECNA, ECAC, CANSO, CACANS, the EU, EUROCONTROL, GEA, ICCAIA, IFALPA, and IAC.

Kazakhstan was represented as an observer by Nurlan Kozhakhmetov, the Senior Aviation Inspector for Cybersecurity of the Aviation Security Department of JSC "Aviation Administration of Kazakhstan."

During the meeting, problematic issues based on the results of CYBERP/2, new developments, and the exchange of best practices were discussed.

The working groups of the committees also covered the need to develop a cybersecurity guide and glossary, analyze gaps in the SARPs system, and assess global cyber risks. This included crisis response measures and the establishment of a basic minimum approach to safety in civil aviation design.

The problems and the need to strengthen cybersecurity measures in civil aviation, protect critical information infrastructure, improve global standards and practices, and report incidents were sharply raised.

ICAO recognized that an important factor in ensuring the cybersecurity of civil aviation facilities is the training of cybersecurity inspectors, their professionalism, and the enhancement of global aviation security through training programs.

It should be noted that participation in the meeting of the CYBERP/3 Group of Experts on Cybersecurity provides an opportunity to gain experience in solving problems related to cybersecurity, as well as to strengthen interaction and exchange of developments in the field of aviation cybersecurity among ICAO member countries, allowing these to be implemented in the regulatory legal acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the field of aviation cybersecurity.
