Avionics and mission-system security review
Architecture assessment for flight and mission systems where safety and cybersecurity requirements must both be satisfied.

Aerospace
Cybersecurity for avionics, satellite systems, and the aerospace supply chain, where a software fault and a safety fault are no longer different categories of risk.
Aerospace cybersecurity now spans avionics, satellite constellations, unmanned systems, and the increasingly software-defined supply chains behind them. Threats range from GPS spoofing and signal jamming to supply-chain compromise of the component manufacturers that feed prime contractors. As more aircraft and space systems become software-defined and connected, the line between a cybersecurity fault and a flight-safety fault keeps narrowing — which is why the sector is investing heavily in zero-trust architectures and post-quantum-ready cryptography ahead of most other industries.
What makes this sector different
- Avionics and satellite systems where a cyber fault can translate directly into a safety-of-flight issue
- GPS spoofing, signal jamming, and electronic warfare techniques that target navigation and communication integrity
- A deep, multi-tier component supply chain where a single compromised supplier can affect multiple airframes or platforms
- Long platform lifecycles (decades) that must be defended against threats that didn't exist when the system was certified
- Emerging quantum-computing risk to long-life cryptographic systems embedded in aircraft and satellites
