Webinar Cybersecurity: recap & Youtube link

On October 29th 2020 the NAG organized a webinar on the subject Cybersecurity in close collaboration with Holland Instrumentation and Innovation Quarter. This webinar was made possible by InnovationQuarter. The webinar took place from the live setting at the high tech Applied Sciences Lab Aeronautical & Precision Engineering of Inholland Delft. The purpose of this meeting was to provide insight into how hackers work, how vulnerable our industry is and how you can identify the risks for your company and take countermeasures. This is because Cybersecurity is a serious threat to the aerospace in general. The webinar had over 100 registrations! Frank Jansen, managing director NAG, was the chairman of the webinar.
