This course explores the operational technology (OT) risks in aviation. The course examines the use of OT in aviation, including the Internet of Things (IoT), Industrial Control Systems (ICS), and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA). OT is used in several ways in the aviation industry, including aircraft manufacturing, maintenance, tracking of passengers and luggage, passenger entertainment, building maintenance, avionics, and more.
