Shift5 Aircraft Network Security Program (ANSP) Compliance Module
Shift5
The Shift5 Compliance Module automates compliance efforts for data created on board fleet aircraft. 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).
AC 119-1’s ANSP requirements are intended to help operators address credible cyber threats and potential critical safety issues, but they don’t provide clear guidance on operationalizing them, frequently leaving operators struggling to find a straightforward path to compliance. The Shif5 Compliance Module facilitates automated rules-based log file analysis, helping make compliance easier, faster, and more efficient so operators can focus on enhancing the safety and cybersecurity of connected aircraft.
The module collects log files using existing aircraft data offloading processes, so there’s no additional hardware required to get started. It can also be deployed as a managed service, offering greater flexibility for teams to focus on other crucial tasks.
Reduce the workload for security teams and more.
Over 60% of cybersecurity leaders say their teams are understaffed, making process automation more critical than ever. The Shift5 platform automatically collects, analyzes, and correlates data from each aircraft to provide better observability across the entire fleet.
Normalize log file data across different platforms.
Data in log files and its formatting can vary widely across aircraft manufacturers, platforms, and even between similar aircraft. The Shift5 platform unpacks log files and automatically normalizes the data in them into a consistent format. This automation eliminates the need for teams to stitch together inconsistent data sets. It also enables the platform to quickly identify commonalities in fleet analysis globally, which improves the robustness and accuracy of the platform for all Shift5 customers.
Focus on the security events that matter most.
A single aircraft can log countless events, making manual assessment and prioritization of risks virtually impossible. Information about critical anomalies must also be made available to regulators and industry experts without delay to ensure flight safety.
When the Shift5 platform identifies a suspicious or malicious event, it assesses its impact quantitatively based on techniques in the MITRE ATT&CK™ Framework. The platform also makes it easy to package and export analysis and assessments from the Shift5 console for internal team review and prompt regulatory reporting.

Shift5 Cybersecurity Module
Shift5
Critical transportation and defense assets, such as military aircraft, maritime vessels, ground vehicles, weapon systems, commercial aircraft, and rolling stock, are extensive technology platforms that rely on a complex web of onboard operational technology (OT) components. These components, designed with a focus on reliability and under the presumption of use in an isolated operational environment, often lack sufficient cybersecurity protections.
Today, as OT components become increasingly interconnected with traditional IT systems and external networks, the absence of appropriate defenses creates a gap in cybersecurity that leaves critical assets precariously exposed to potential cyberattacks. Owners, operators, and maintainers must prioritize addressing this unchecked risk to keep their fleets protected.
Shift5’s unique platform is hardware, bus, and protocol agnostic, and can perform passive, full-take data capture from any onboard source — every frame, every bus, every protocol. The platform analyzes data in real-time to detect threats and unlock critical insights for cybersecurity teams, providing the depth and breadth of knowledge needed to understand and manage cybersecurity risks to today’s fleets and tomorrow’s next-gen assets.

Shift5 GPS Integrity Module
Shift5
Enabled by one of the smallest, lightest, & lowest-power single pieces of hardware available. Operators and leaders still have little to no visibility into their vehicles' onboard data. Shift5 captures and analyzes serial bus data on the platform in real time, providing the anomaly detection and operational intelligence required to act.
Shift5's GPS Integrity Module is enabled by the Shift5 Manifold, a protocol-agnostic, U.S.-manufactured, configurable passive bus data-collecting computer engineered to fit within the ARINC 600 2 MCU form factor.
Using the data collected, translated, and streamed off-board the vehicle, Shift5 offers insights, providing real-time alerting and historical trends to assure mission readiness and cyber survivability. Our innovative technology enables military systems and commercial aviation, rail, and maritime vehicles to deny deception and ensure the integrity of GPS signals.
FEATURES
- Physics-Based Spoofing Detection helps determine if changes in position are physically possible, providing a simple yet effective method for initial spoofing detection.
- Advanced Detection Capabilities can analyze enriched data from all sources to detect subtle, sophisticated spoofing attempts, which is essential for identifying more complex spoofing strategies that might evade traditional detection spoofing techniques.
- Cockpit Alerting can provide real-time notifications to operators when the module detects GPS jamming or spoofing, helping ensure immediate awareness and faster response to potential threats.
- Seamless (SWaP Compliant) Integration with existing platforms, as well as the ability to deploy directly to onboard hardware if sufficient computing resources are available.
BENEFITS
