"To Guard Against Cyberattacks in Space, Researchers Ask 'What If?'"

Patrick Lin and his colleagues at California Polytechnic State University's Ethics + Emerging Sciences Group recently released a US National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded report to highlight the threat posed by space cyberattacks and help predict novel scenarios. Space cyberattacks are rising due to several factors. As space is remote and challenging to access, a cyberattack would likely be needed to target a space system. Space systems are attractive targets because it is not easy to upgrade their hardware once launched, and this insecurity increases over time. This article continues to discuss key findings and points from the team's report on space cybersecurity.
