But what are some of the best ways defense and aerospace organizations can improve data security? Let’s take a closer look. GDPR has an extraterritoriality clause which means companies collecting the data of EU data subjects must comply with the regulation regardless of where they are physically located.įor all these reasons, defense and aerospace companies require advanced cybersecurity frameworks to meet all their compliance requirements and guard against the many cyber threats they face in real-time. Under legislation such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), aerospace and defense organizations are obligated to ensure that EU data subjects’ personal information is not lost or stolen and face limitations in the transfer of personal data across borders.

Since they collect personal data from customers, but also often conduct extensive background checks when hiring employees, aerospace and defense companies also need to protect the personal information they collect from data breaches. All companies that do business within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) supply chain or wish to participate in a DoD bid, must be CMMC certified. CMMC is a new framework that aims to protect Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) for all contractors or subcontractors of the United States Department of Defense (DoD). In the US, the Cybersecurity Capability Maturity Model (CMMC) certification was introduced by the US government to fix low rates of compliance associated with NIST SP 800-171.

The advent of new technology such as artificial intelligence and advanced automation brought a new category of potential vulnerabilities that enforced the need for cyber defense. As a consequence, the aerospace and defense sector is heavily regulated and closely scrutinized by governments. More common cyber threats such as malware and ransomware attacks have also increased in recent years as critical military and civil infrastructures have been modernized and become connected to networks and the internet, making them vulnerable to hackers. As such, they are often the targets of Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) groups working together with nation-states to steal intellectual property (IP) to advance domestic aerospace and defense capabilities, develop countermeasures, and collect intelligence with which to monitor, possibly infiltrate and subvert other nations’ defense systems. The goal of the aerospace and defense industry is to ensure the security of a country, its critical infrastructure, government authorities, and citizens.
