Space infrastructure is becoming a critical component of global digital infrastructure, leading to an increase in cybersecurity risks that are often underestimated.
Satellite networks, especially low-Earth orbit (LEO) systems, are vulnerable to various cyber threats due to their integration into essential national infrastructure.
Key cybersecurity risks in space systems include ground control facilities hacking, spoofing attacks, GPS signal disruption, and vulnerabilities in inter-satellite communication links.
The article emphasizes the need for robust cybersecurity measures in space systems to prevent potential disruptions and highlights instances where space infrastructure has been targeted by cyberattacks.
