Here’s Why Robust Space Security Framework is Need of the Hour

Satellite systems are critical for communication, weather monitoring, navigation, Internet access, and numerous other purposes. These systems, however, suffer multiple challenges that jeopardise their security and integrity. To tackle these challenges, we must establish a strong cybersecurity framework to safeguard satellite operations.

Cyber threats to satellites

Satellite systems suffer a wide range of threats, including denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and malware infiltration, as well as unauthorised access and damage triggered by other objects in their orbit that hinder digital communications.

For satellite systems, these major threats can distort sensor systems, resulting in harmful actions based on inaccurate data. For example, a faulty sensor system could cause a satellite’s orbit path to collide with another satellite or natural space object. If a sensor system fails, it may result in the failure of other space and terrestrial systems that rely on it. Jamming or sending unauthorised satellite guidance and control commands has the potential to destroy other orbiting space
