Aviation cybersecurity · Toronto area · Remote across time zones
Aviation cybersecurity for teams without a security department.
I help eVTOL and UAS developers, small operators and MROs answer the security questions that authorities, investors and customers ask, and see where GNSS interference and ADS-B anomalies actually touch their operation. The advice is grounded in my peer-reviewed research on 377 billion ADS-B messages, not on a generic checklist.

Services
Five things I do, each with a deliverable you keep.
Fixed-scope engagements. Every one ends with something you can hand to a regulator, an investor or your own team. Most clients start with the exposure analysis or the readiness assessment.
-
GNSS and ADS-B integrity exposure analysis
Start hereFor operators, UAS and eVTOL developersWhere GNSS interference and surveillance anomalies actually occur on the routes and in the regions you fly, measured against the same global baselines as my published research. You get maps and rates of GNSS gaps, position deviations and ADS-B anomalies for your operating area, and recommendations for procedures or design. Two weeks, fixed scope, no access to your systems needed.
-
Security program and readiness assessment
For builders and operatorsI review your systems, people and obligations against the framework that fits you: NIST CSF 2.0, ISO/IEC 27001 or EASA Part-IS, in two to three weeks. You get a prioritized risk register and a 90-day roadmap your own team can run.
-
Security in design for eVTOL and UAS
For buildersThreat models and security requirements for C2 links, GNSS, ground stations and software updates, written to line up with DO-326A/ED-202A so your certification team isn’t surprised late. You get a threat model, a requirements set and my review notes.
-
Incident response and ransomware readiness
For operators and MROsA one-page incident response plan, playbooks for ransomware and data loss, and a tabletop exercise I run with your team, so the first time you use the plan isn’t the real thing.
-
Security training for aviation staff
For everyoneRole-based sessions for pilots, technicians, engineers and office staff. I taught network security in a classroom before I worked in aviation. Includes phishing simulations with a before-and-after report.
Readiness call → fixed-scope engagement → 90-day roadmap → optional retainer as your part-time security lead. Fixed quotes after the call. Book the call →
Why Mevocopter
Three things you won’t get from a generalist security firm.
The advice comes from measurement
My peer-reviewed work on GNSS interference and ADS-B integrity, and open data and code (GET-25) that anyone can check.
Regulator-facing paperwork holds no surprises
Before aviation, I prepared Health Canada and FDA submissions for medical-device makers. Certification and compliance documents are familiar ground.
Sized for small teams
No junior hand-offs and no enterprise minimums. You work directly with me, on fixed-scope engagements or a part-time retainer.

The research behind my advice
Degradation of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast integrity: Temporal clustering and anomaly persistence
229.0 billion state vectors show that ADS-B anomalies cluster in time, last a mean of 28.83 seconds against a 5-second tracker tolerance, and recur across observation days. Integrity monitoring has to move from point-in-time detection to predictive system health management.

Introduces the Global Envelope Thresholding framework: 246.7 billion messages from 2025 across 260 Flight Information Regions, and a new anomaly class, “Ghost Records”. The data and a Python API are open in the GET-25 benchmark.

About
Research-grade expertise, one person accountable.
I worked in computer support and network security in Israel, where I also taught network design and security at a college. In Canada I built companies that included helping medical-device makers prepare Health Canada and FDA approval documentation, then led the concept design of a hybrid eVTOL air ambulance, shaped by interviews with medevac operators across Canada and the US.
I founded Mevocopter Aerospace in 2022 to bring that mix of security, regulatory and aircraft-program experience to the newest and smallest parts of aviation.
