Emerging Threats During Times of Crisis: Insights from Airbus Cybersecurity’s Phil Jones

The global pandemic has highlighted the importance of being prepared for the unexpected. Opportunistic attackers are taking advantage of rapidly changing work environments and stretched security teams to launch a surge in attacks. While there was no way to fully anticipate the impact to our organizations and be prepared from day-one with a detailed plan, there is a lot we can learn to strengthen our resilience to emerging threats.

To discuss some of the key takeaways from the current crisis, I connected with Phil Jones who, since 2016, has overseen Operations within Airbus Cybersecurity, a business unit of Airbus Defence and Space. Phil now leads the group’s Cybersecurity Services business which includes Managed Security Services, Security Consulting and Professional Services, and Integrated Security Services.
