Aerospace organisations — spanning commercial OEMs, defence prime contractors, MRO providers, and space systems operators — handle export-controlled technical data, classified programmes, and safety-critical embedded software under a uniquely demanding intersection of ITAR, CMMC, and DO-178C that makes robust access control a legal and mission imperative. Zero Trust architecture provides the identity-verified, device-validated access controls needed to enforce need-to-know across distributed engineering teams, supply chains, and government customer networks without compromising the collaboration required for complex programmes.
