Abstract

This article examines cybersecurity risk management in aerospace supply chains from a securitization perspective, arguing that digitalization has transformed the industrial base into critical infrastructure for national sovereignty. Drawing on the integration of Securitization Theory and Aerospace Power Theory, the Securitization and Aerospace Power Framework for Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management (SAPF-CSCRM) is proposed, grounded in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, 2022) framework and the Cybersecurity Capability Maturity Model (C2M2) by the Department of Energy (DOE, 2022). Within this architecture, the Aerospace Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management Maturity Model (AMM-CSCRM) functions as a maturity governance mechanism, articulating risk typologies, normative controls, and organizational capability levels. Empirical validation through the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (NASA/JPL) case study demonstrates that the absence of basic asset management controls undermines organizational maturity and nullifies investments in advanced security. The study concludes that digital sovereignty depends on structured governance and verifiable maturity in C-SCRM.
