FAA Cybersecurity Regulations for Aircraft: A Quick Guide to What You Need to Know

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.

Introducing Shift5 Manifold 10: A New Era in Onboard Data Monitoring and Insights for Commercial and Defense Aircraft 

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.

Charting a Reliable Course Through the Murky Waters of GPS Signal Manipulation

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is an integral part of our daily lives, guiding everything from our travels to emergency responses. However, beneath its surface lies a troubling vulnerability to manipulation. Imagine your device being tricked into believing you’re in a completely different location or losing all navigation signals entirely. These threats—GPS spoofing and jamming—pose serious risks to safety and security. Discover how researchers are developing countermeasures and why a collective responsibility is essential to safeguard this critical technology. Join us as we navigate the complexities of GPS manipulation and explore the future of reliable navigation.

7 Takeaways from the Annual Aviation ISAC Summit 

The Aviation ISAC Summit gathers experts dedicated to enhancing aviation security. This year in Dublin, specialists added their real-world experiences and challenges to a collective conversation to enrich industry-wide understanding of a modern, cyber-secure aviation ecosystem. Read on for key takeaways from the summit that provide a framework for enhancing aviation cybersecurity strategies and solutions.

What is Observability?

Observability refers to the ability to derive real-time, context-rich insights from refined onboard data to enable not just a more comprehensive understanding of the state of a system—or system of systems—but ultimately to enable smarter, faster decisions and actions.

It unlocks a new level of decision-making by providing a clear understanding of what’s happening on a vehicle holistically, the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.

With observability, operators and maintainers can see and understand exactly what’s going on within a platform’s onboard systems and components collectively at the moment the issue manifests.

Shift5 Helps Streamline Regulatory Compliance for Fleet Vehicles 

Today, Shift5 announced the release of the Shift5 Compliance Module, which helps automate compliance efforts for data created on board fleet vehicles. This inaugural release, developed in partnership with aviation industry experts, enables automation of the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) guidelines in Advisory Circular (AC) 119-1 requiring operators to create an Aircraft Network Security Program (ANSP).
