New Aviation Security Course Launched
Montreal – 25 July 2024 - The International Business Aviation
Council (IBAC) and its industry-leading safety standards, IS-BAO and
IS-BAH, have collaborated with Dyami Security Intelligence to introduce
the new Business Aviation Security Fundamentals
course, September 10-11, 2024.
Geopolitical tensions have underscored the critical need for enhanced
security measures in aviation. To address this, Dyami and the team from
the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) and
the International Standard for Business Aircraft
Handling (IS-BAH) have developed a new live, virtual course designed to
equip business aviation professionals with the essential tools to
safeguard their operations.
In addition to learning about aircraft and passenger security, the
course will cover threats from emerging conflict zones, climate
activism, and information security. Participants will gain a deeper
understanding of effective risk-management strategies, integrating
security practices into their organizational framework, and mitigating
these potential threats.
Eric Schouten is the course presenter, founder, and CEO of Dyami
Security Intelligence. He previously worked for 13 years as an aviation
intelligence liaison officer at the Dutch General Intelligence and
Security Service (AIVD). His experiences with espionage,
terrorist plots, and the MH17 disaster inspired him to create Dyami,
aiming to make security and intelligence services accessible and
affordable.
“It has been a pleasure working with the team at IBAC to develop this
course for the business aviation community,” commented Eric Schouten.
“Now more than ever, we need to equip our teams with insight, knowledge,
and tools to safeguard our operations and I
look forward to sharing this course with many aviation professionals.”
Andrew Karas, IS-BAO Programme Director, and Terry Yeomans, IS-BAH
Programme Director look forward to introducing this course to registered
organizations and to the global business aviation industry. “The course
will assist with conforming to IS-BAO/IS-BAH
international standards and provides further insight into the
IS-BAO/IS-BAH security chapters. It will help build a foundation of
organizational security and support incoming requirements for
cybersecurity plans,” stated the IS-BAO/BAH Directors. To register for the September 10-11 live online course, which will be two four-hour sessions, please go to: Business Aviation Security Fundamentals. Early bird discount ends August 28th.
