In recent years, aviation security was designated as a national strategy, which further emphasized the increasing interest and growth for aviation cybersecurity. The growing digitization and greater connectivity of aviation infrastructure increases the vulnerabilities and risks associated with the aviation industry. In response, educational institutions must diversify their instruction to train a more robust cybersecurity workforce for increased cybersecurity protection. As leader in aviation and aerospace education, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) has undertaken fundamental efforts to address the need for a high-skilled cybersecurity workforce through its established aviation and aerospace research agenda and is actively building on its research expertise in the aviation and aerospace cybersecurity domain to meet current and future workforce needs. ERAU has extensive capabilities in all computation and communication services related to flight operations. Among them: airborne hardware and software, avionics equipment, and network and communication data links among aircraft, ground stations, radar systems, and satellite systems. ERAU faculty have made substantial contributions to the body of knowledge of aviation cybersecurity through direct work with aviation industry stakeholders, publications in prestigious venues, and presentations at expert forums. To this end, ERAU faculty are consistently updating their courses with their innovative work, thus closing the loop between research and education, and helping with the preparation of well-rounded and high-skilled graduates. All these capabilities and expertise place ERAU students in a unique position to contribute to the cybersecurity of engineered systems specific for the aviation and aerospace industry.
