April 16-17, 2025 at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott, Arizona
This workshop aims to promote knowledge dissemination, collaborative exploration of future avenues, and a dynamic learning experience in aviation and space cybersecurity, especially for NSF CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) program scholars and others interested.
Details of last year’s inaugural workshop are at: https://commons.erau.edu/avcysecworkshop/2024/.
The objectives of the workshop encompass several key facets:
- Assemble stakeholders in aerospace to share knowledge and advances in cybersecurity.
- Identify realms of technology, research, and development, along with recognizing education and workforce training requisites.
- Provide an immersive hands-on experience, particularly for SFS scholars and other participants, through a competitive Capture-The-Flag (CTF) in aerospace cyber security.
- Offer stakeholders with an understanding of the feasibility and consequences of emerging cyber and cyber-physical attacks within the aerospace sector. The workshop also aims to equip them with potential threat mitigation strategies.

We look forward to seeing you at the second ERAU-NASA-NSF AeroCyber workshop on April 16-17, 2025! Please register by April 1 or sooner. Thank you!
The workshop raises awareness of the NSF SFS program and enables student engagement with industry, government, and peers across SFS sites. It offers universities not yet affiliated with the program insights into its benefits.
The event brings together thought leaders and experts, providing SFS scholars and students with valuable exposure to the cybersecurity landscape in aerospace. This experience aids their career development in an industry facing a talent shortage.
Overall, the workshop promotes education, research, collaboration, and career growth in aerospace cybersecurity while addressing the sector’s real-world cyber challenges, reinforcing resilience and safeguarding critical systems.
