• Develop and govern cybersecurity reference architectures, standards, and design patterns that ensure consistent security posture across internal teams, subcontractors, and vendor-delivered components
• Drive the enterprise-wide adoption of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), defining segmentation strategies, identity verification models, and least-privilege access controls appropriate for safety-critical environments
• Architect cybersecurity controls that account for the safety-of-life implications inherent in aviation systems, ensuring security mechanisms do not introduce latency, single points of failure, or operational disruptions that could compromise airspace safety
• Establish and chair security architecture review boards to evaluate proposed designs, adjudicate security trade-offs, and enforce architectural standards across all integrated systems
