Abstract: The aerospace industry, encompassing aircraft systems, ground control operations and manufacturing process, isfacing increasing cyber threats, demanding robust security measures to protect critical infrastructure, sensitive data, and flight safety. Traditional perimeter-based security models are increasingly inadequate in today's interconnected and dynamic environments. This paper explores the applicability of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) within the aerospace sector. Delving into the core principles of ZTA, discuss its potential benefits for enhancing security in aircraft, ground control systems, manufacturing, and avionics, and outline key implementation considerations. Additionally, it examines the emerging trends in aerospace cybersecurity, including the use of ZTA for protecting critical infrastructure, limiting lateral movement, and enforcing continuous authentication.

Keywords: Zero Trust Architecture, Aerospace Security, Avionics, Internet of Things, Identity Verification, Multi-factor Authentication, Role-based Access Control, Device Monitoring, Data Segmentation, Cybersecurity, Critical Infrastructure.
