Aviation Last May ICAO organized a Summit on Cybersecurity,
resulting in a Bucharest Communique that contains
recommendations for a Cybersecurity Strategy for
States and industry:

1. Develop cybersecurity frame-
works in a harmonized
manner to the maximum ex-
tent possible;

2. Foster regional cooperation
in the definition of common
strategies, exchange of infor-
mation and best practices, fol-
lowing the example of already
existing initiatives;

3. Promote trust frameworks to
enable secure information-
sharing;

4. Collaborate to identify long-
term human resource needs
and establish strategies to at-
tract, educate, and retain the
next generation of aviation
professionals;

5. Actively support the develop-
ment of a global cybersecurity
strategy, under the leadership
of the International Civil Avia-
tion Organization; and
6. Reiterate their commitment to
the development of a robust,
efficient and sustainable civil
aviation system.
