"ESA Upgrades Its Security as Space Becomes Susceptible to Cybercrime"

The European Space Agency (ESA) is facing cyber threats, as the technology it operates has become more vulnerable to hackers. The current commercialization of European space introduces new challenges, including cybersecurity. Dr. Daniel Fischer, ESA's Head of Ground Segment System and Cybersecurity Engineering, recently announced at a conference in Tallinn that the ESA will expand its security measures. A strong defense-in-depth security strategy called the Ground Operation System Common Core - Multi-Mission Generation (EGOS-MG) will be implemented. Under a European Union license, all components of this system will be available to the European space industry. When properly implemented, this strategy should provide appropriate ground-based component security to all European space ecosystem stakeholders. This article continues to discuss aerospace being more vulnerable to cyberattacks and ESA's efforts to scale up space cybersecurity measures.
