Defying Gravity: Part 2 Cybersecurity for SATCOM
Solution Briefs
Satellite communication networks play a vital role in supporting commercial, government, and military communications, emergency response, navigation systems, weather tracking, banking transactions, and more. These operations demand accuracy, precision, and nearly absolute reliability.
However, while connectivity technologies have rapidly advanced, satellites face increasingly sophisticated threats. Malicious hackers, hostile state actors, and other entities can now jam, spoof, and infiltrate satellite systems if unprotected. These threats include every component of the connection — ground terminals, satellites, and the links between them. Disabling assets through jamming or injection techniques — disrupting the signal or providing false information — can result in the cut-off of critical services.
