"Building More Cyber-Resilient Satellites Begins With a Strong Network"

Nation-states are prioritizing seizing control of another nation's satellite infrastructure and destroying or disabling it in today's global cyber cold war. Interrupting a rival nation's satellites halts real-time communications, the situational awareness of military operating units, and navigation. For national security, satellites and space access are critical. By 2030, about 1,700 satellites will be launched annually. In its 2022 Challenges to Security in Space report, the US Defense Intelligence Agency cited known physical and cyberattacks on ground-infrastructure, space situational awareness sensors that monitor and target satellites, as well as attempts to jam navigation and communication satellites. This article continues to discuss why satellites are strategic targets for cyberattackers, as well as satellite protection efforts and recommendations.
