Aerospace
Hardly any industry is as good at providing proof as yours. Now information security also has to be demonstrated with a robustness that is taken for granted in your industry – for systems that were originally never designed to that standard. At the same time, unmanned systems, ground segments and complex supply chains are growing into certification and proof processes for which practice is only just developing.
Precisely because providing proof is part of your everyday work, the additional effort is easily underestimated. The difference: for information security, roles, procedures and testing practice are in part not yet as well rehearsed as in classic certification.
What makes this environment challenging.
Decisions in aerospace often take effect over decades and have to hold up in highly formalized certification and proof processes. Here, information security meets an established safety culture with its own rules and responsibilities. We encounter three patterns in this environment again and again.
Security has two meanings here
Organizations in the industry are geared to safety, reliability and technical certification. Information security follows partly different principles and still has to fit into the same development and proof processes.
Fixing it later is not an update
What is certified today is frequently still in use in twenty years. Every later change then goes through a procedure of its own.
Established procedures, new yardsticks
Certification and proof processes are firmly rehearsed. Procedures, roles and assessment criteria for information security, by contrast, often only gradually find their place in this system.
