Day 1: Aviation - pivotal piece of the national critical infrastructure puzzle
AVSEC and CYBERSEC Events

1h 25m
The threats to national critical infrastructure are growing in complexity, with new modus operandi, as well as a broader range of perpetrators. Amongst many targets, terrorist groups continue to perceive attacks against international civil aviation as an effective way to cause substantial loss of life, economic damage and disruption. Despite considerable security enhancements across all civil aviation sectors, it's often implemented in silos. This session will explore how the civil aviation sector can contribute to counter-terrorism frameworks and interagency cooperation at the broader national level.
Moderator: Sylvain Lefoyer, Deputy Director, Aviation Security and Facilitation, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
Keynote remarks: Andrew P. Opolot, Legal Officer, Legal Affairs and External Relations Bureau, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
Panellists:
Andrew Clarke, Technical Officer, Maritime Security Section, Maritime Safety Division, International Maritime Organization (IMO)
Oliver Homewood, Head of Strategy, Innovation and International Policy, Department for Transport, United Kingdom
Dace Reichmane, Head of Aviation Security Division, Civil Aviation Agency, Latvia
