Cyber Defence for Aerospace & Defence

Cyber resilience for
digital sovereignty
and seamless protection.

We secure missions, production, and supply chains. From vulnerability monitoring through continuous detection to structured response. For organizations where operational continuity is non-negotiable.

Our commitment

Cyber Defence for Aerospace & Defence

The goal is simply stated and hard to deliver: attacks are detected before they cause damage. Incidents are contained before they hit production, programs or supply chains. Axians has been doing this work since 2002 and covers the full spectrum for Aerospace & Defence:  from vulnerability transparency and continuous detection to structured response.

Why Axians

Security in advance, backup when it counts.

Your added value

Ready for the worst case

What we do, concretely, for your security

A shared situational picture across IT and OT

With the time resolution that NIS2 reporting deadlines demand. Timestamps are logged at every stage — so that the 24-hour initial report and the 72-hour detailed report don't fail because of documentation.

Validated coverage of real-world attacker tactics

Detection runs against a documented library of tailored use cases, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. 

24/7 hotline with guaranteed response times

Predictable processes when every second counts. Our incident response team is available around the clock and contractually guarantees fixed response times.

From detection to operational superiority

Detection alone does not protect. The difference lies in the response chain.

Three typical situations in which the response is decisive — and how we close them without interruption.

You need 24/7 detection, but running your own SOC isn't viable.

We operate the Managed SOC from German data centers. Detection rules are calibrated to defence-specific attack patterns. Alerts are reviewed before they reach you.

Vulnerabilities are identified, but remediation isn't making progress.

We prioritize by operational damage potential and guide the remediation workflow through to verified closure — not just to the ticket.

In an emergency, every minute counts — but the response chain has too many handoffs.

We deliver incident response and SOAR from a single source. Playbooks are aligned with your system landscape and escalation paths before an incident occurs.

Frequently asked questions

What CISOs and procurement teams want to know first.

The five questions we hear most often in initial conversations. If yours isn't among them — just ask us directly.

How up to date is the detection logic?

Use cases are continuously updated against current threat intelligence. During onboarding, the rule set is calibrated to your specific environment, including tuning to reduce false positives. The source is our in-house Threat Intelligence Center with German analysts.

What happens after an incident?

Three deliverables: forensic root cause analysis, incident timeline, and lessons learned with a concrete action plan. Fully auditable, designed for regulatory documentation requirements (NIS2, CRA).

How much effort is onboarding?

Depending on scope: four to twelve weeks to operational readiness. In the managed model, your primary responsibilities are providing the log sources and defining the escalation contacts.

Do data and operations stay in Germany?

Yes. Our SOC is operated from German data centers. Where data sovereignty must remain on-premises for compliance reasons, we apply our analytics layer to your platform. Operations take place exclusively within the German legal framework.

Through which framework agreements are you available?

Axians is available through established framework agreements with public authorities, research institutions, and OEMs. We discuss the details during scoping — on request, we provide the corresponding evidence and references under NDA. For urgent procurements, we offer an IR retainer as a standalone component.
