Threat detection alert workflows for flights and ground operations

Purpose

1.1. Ensure proactive detection and instant notification of potential threats in air taxi operations.
1.2. Automate threat alerting for compliance, passenger safety, and operational continuity.
1.3. Integrate multi-source monitoring for both flight and ground scenarios (e.g., unauthorized access, weather anomalies, cyber incidents).
1.4. Minimize response time by routing alerts to responsible teams and authorities.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Abnormal telemetry from aircraft systems.
2.2. Unauthorized personnel detected in restricted ground zones.
2.3. Third-party security system incident/alert (physical or cyber).
2.4. Regulatory compliance alert (e.g., no-fly zone breach).
2.5. Severe weather warnings from aviation authorities.
2.6. Aircraft communication failure or distress signal.
2.7. Suspicious digital activity (e.g., login attempts) detected in backend systems.
