Satellites Security
Modern satellites are essential components of critical infrastructure, playing a crucial role in telecommunications, navigation, and military applications. Given the significant growth in the number of satellites currently in operation, particularly in low Earth orbit (LEO), and the ongoing expansion of this technology, ensuring satellite security has become a primary concern. Their increased connectivity makes them highly vulnerable to cyberattacks, requiring robust platform and network security.
A satellite's platform includes the hardware and software necessary for operation. Attacks can lead to loss of control, system failures, or even full takeover. Additionally, communication between satellites and ground stations is a significant target for cyberattacks. Network vulnerabilities can be exploited to intercept, manipulate, or disrupt data transmissions.
Given the growth in the number of satellites, it is essential to implement a comprehensive security approach to mitigate cyber threats and ensure the long-term integrity and resilience of these critical systems.
