Ask anyone in Aviation, checklists matter. Cybersecurity is often drudgery, but avoiding excitement is the entire point.

Currently, IT checklists are security theater. Reducing liability vs improving security.

How many orgs are transitioning to zero knowledge networks, encrypting all data at rest?

> encrypting all data at rest

That’s a common checklist item. Implementing it is of course more work than just checking the box, but ensuring it’s actually done means it’s added to a lot of different checklists.

At the field and record level? Sufficient to guarantee privacy?

Never store PII as cleartext, akin to proper password storage.

Encrypting databases, file systems, and backups remain necessary, but insufficient.

Encrypting data at rest at least is getting better if only because more systems do it by default as time goes on.

Yes, Checklist in aviation and aerospace are crucial, but at the same time, you have to avoid checklist for checklist sake.

But they also do a lot of failure response testing, simulations where you walk through a failed checklist or incidient and how you would response. Cypersecurity does pen testing and phishing attempts, but how about dry runs where you act as if you are compromised and everyone runs a "fire drill" scenario?
