Overview
Analyzing the intersection between cyber and space security is essential to understanding this non-traditional, evolving security threat. Cybersecurity and space security are inextricably linked. Technologies in satellites and other space assets are sourced from a broad international supply base and therefore require regular security upgrades. And the upgrades via remote connections could serve to make space assets vulnerable to cyberattacks. In everyday life, satellites are regularly used to provide Internet services and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) technologies that are increasingly embedded in almost all critical infrastructures.
