Aerospace & Defense, Artificial Intelligence

The growing integration of artificial intelligence into critical infrastructure, finance, and security-sensitive environments introduces a new and complex attack surface that conventional cybersecurity approaches alone cannot adequately address. The proliferation of AI in smart cities, finance, and public services amplifies the need to examine security threats targeting both the models and their ecosystems. While AI systems offer capabilities such as real-time analytics and automated decision-making, they also introduce unique vulnerabilities.

Advances in Aerospace Engine Design Health Monitoring
