Aviation industry mostly protects against random failures and human mistakes, not targeted attacks so comparison there is silly from the start.

There are lessons to be learned, but they are about building resilient systems, not secure ones. All of the "security" of airplanes pretty much relies on pilot noticing something is wrong, without that man with SDR could fuck up a lot of stuff

Came here to say this.

Protecting the average corporate networks against the most sophisticated state actors is like protecting an airliner against an F35 armed with AIM-260 missiles.
