The Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) released a white paper on applying Cybersecurity Data Science (CSDS) to aviation manufacturing operations, highlighting how machine learning and data analytics can detect anomalies, identify active threats, and determine whether disruptions are cyber-related across interconnected IT and operational systems. The paper outlines key challenges — such as managing large data volumes and distinguishing between routine issues and cyber incidents — while offering recommendations to strengthen cyber resilience, including investing in ML-ready infrastructure, improving data quality and sensor configuration, and using iterative testing to enhance threat detection without disrupting operations.
