White Paper Cyber Security for Space
Ever wonder what space technology does for your daily life?
Communication, navigation, observation, government services, exploration and science, the space sector plays an increasing role in our daily lives. From satellite communications that provide access to internet connections to navigation, positioning, timing satellites that secure operations of critical activities (agriculture, energy, finance…) and modes of transport (road, maritime, aviation…), satellites and the space services they provide are essential to our functioning as a modern society.
Today, security issues happen with alarming regularity. Whether state-sponsored or organised cybercriminal gangs, the sheer quantity of malicious actors is on the rise, and these attackers are becoming both more focused and more imaginative.
They are compromising software, jamming signals, hacking in-orbit satellites and designing and deploying spy satellites.
Low-orbit constellations, reconfigurable satellites, cloud and artificial intelligence, and post-quantum cryptography are some of the major technological breakthroughs marking the space and cybersecurity environment.
Capitalizing on a unique jointed expertise with Thales Alenia Space, Thales provides a complete cyber offer from solutions to services covering all space missions: telecom, observation, exploration science and positioning, navigation and timing.
