This Cybersecurity Awareness Month, CISA is looking beyond the next year to the next 250, with a long-term vision for securing the nation's digital infrastructure. That vision includes leading the world in artificial intelligence (AI) while keeping it secure by design. For aerospace programs, that means thinking carefully about how AI tools access program data, especially when that data is export-controlled or tied to DAL-rated systems. Our latest article breaks down what federal guidance says about securing AI data access, and what it means for engineering teams working on DO-178C programs.

85% of aerospace and defense leaders are already prioritizing secure-by-design artificial intelligence (AI). That's compared to 63% across general industry. For AI adoption on DO-178C programs, security isn't just about the tool itself. It's about who has access to the data it touches, and where that data goes. Federal guidance from CISA, NSA, and other agencies points to key risks like data supply chain vulnerabilities, poisoning, and data drift, with mitigations like zero-trust architecture and individually scoped access. Our latest article breaks down what this means for engineering teams adopting AI on certification programs, and how Performance Software approaches it with Elevate™.

This summer brought a wave of consolidation and certification progress in Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). Archer Aviation acquired Boeing's Wisk Aero, SkyGrid, and Insitu subsidiaries, while real-world use cases began to emerge — like Hyde County, NC's first live eVTOL 911 missions. We break down what's driving these shifts and what they signal for the path to flight. Read our latest blog: hubs.ly/Q04xp1_60 #PerformanceSoftware #AAM #AdvancedAirMobility
