Mr Pang Kin Keong, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Transport, Singapore will deliver the opening address on 9 July. 2. Featuring a line-up of 24 international and local speakers, the conference serves to further the collective awareness of civil aviation stakeholders on the growing risk of cyber threats, and the potential impact and consequence of these threats to civil aviation operations. In this age of interconnectedness, such threats can have severe implications on the global civil aviation eco-system including airlines, airport operators, air freight companies, security service providers, aviation security equipment suppliers, aircraft and aero-engine manufacturers, regulators, and others. Besides raising awareness, the conference also provides a platform for civil aviation leaders and stakeholders to exchange views on the challenges, considerations, and possible approaches to dealing with cyber threats. 3. In Singapore, civil aviation has been identified as a critical sector in the Critical Infocomm Infrastructure Protection (CIIP) Programme under the National Cyber Security Master Plan 2018 1. The programme aims to systematically strengthen the security and resilience of the info-comm systems of critical infrastructure. As the lead for the aviation sector, CAAS has been working closely with the aviation community and the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore to implement the CIIP Programme.
