Our nation’s critical defense and transportation infrastructures face an increasingly sophisticated landscape of interconnected systems, placing enormous pressure on operators to sift through thousands of alerts from various assets. Analysts could easily become overwhelmed by a wall of flashing alerts—some critical, some less so. Without context, they could waste valuable time fixing a non-urgent issue while overlooking an alert affecting thousands of users. Context is key to cutting through the noise. It empowers operators to prioritize critical issues, focus time and resources where they matter most, and prevent system-wide disruptions.
The FAA's proposed cybersecurity regulations are driving a pivotal shift in safeguarding the aviation industry against the rising threat of cyberattacks. As aircraft systems grow more interconnected and reliant on digital technologies, robust cybersecurity measures are becoming increasingly crucial. These regulations establish a standardized framework to protect complex systems from unauthorized access and manipulation, streamlining the certification process while reducing time and costs.
Modern aircraft generate vast amounts of data that often go uncollected and unused, leaving valuable insights untapped. This lack of comprehensive data capture means operators and maintainers are missing out on critical information that could enhance safety, improve fleet availability, and reduce downtime. Shift5 addresses this issue head-on by providing an innovative solution that captures, monitors, and analyzes high-volume data streams in real-time, directly from the edge.
Today, Shift5 is charting a path to empower owners and operators with observability into their onboard data to answer questions about the operational and cybersecurity health of their fleet assets. Today, Fivers work at Shift5 for several reasons: cutting edge impact, meaningful impact, sense of purpose, the people Shift5's vision to build a safer, more stable world is happening every single day. Each Fiver contributes to making this vision a reality, and it begins with building an observability platform that enables operators with their OT data.
