1. An inflight entertainment (IFE) security processing system, comprising:
at least one processor;
at least one memory storing instructions executable by the at least one processor to perform operations comprising to:
receive log event streams from components of an IFE system and/or connected to the IFE system;
aggregate content of the log event streams based on a level of aggregation set by aggregation commands received from a ground-based cybersecurity operations center, to generate an aggregated log file; and
communicate the aggregated log file through a satellite communication pathway to the ground-based cybersecurity operations center,
store content of the log event streams in a raw log file;
wherein the operation to aggregate content of the log event streams based on the level of aggregation set by aggregation commands received from the ground-based cybersecurity operations center, to generate an aggregated log file, comprises to:
receive an aggregation command requesting a defined level of aggregation of content of the log event streams; and
process content of the raw log file using an aggregation algorithm operationally controlled by the defined level of aggregation to generate the aggregated log file.
