Irish Aviation Authority: Engagement
2:00 am
Mr. Declan Fitzpatrick:
We have a number of roles we are about to fully take on board in the IAA. There are some aspects there already. Under the European Union Aviation Safety Agency regulation, which we refer to as Part-IS, information security, there are new requirements. All organisations must have an information security management system that will deal with cybersecurity. Under the network and information systems directive, NIS2, a number of aviation organisations will have to be able to demonstrate their cybersecurity resilience. There are also certain aspects of the critical entities resilience directive that relate to cyber. We look at those with those critical entities in Ireland. We are confident at this stage that all our organisations have good, robust systems. It is in their best interests. They have no desire not to be fully compliant or not to have robust systems. That is the case at the moment.
