SIA, Global VSAT Forum Issue Cybersecurity Principles

The Satellite Industry Association and Global VSAT Forum issued a set of cybersecurity core principles that they say should be central to private and public sector cybersecurity efforts. The three principles are an endorsement of "voluntary, industry-led efforts and public-private partnerships" as the best route to address cybersecurity; a plug for voluntary information sharing "free from fear of adverse consequences"; and a call for satellite industry groups to tackle cybersecurity issues "using industry best practices for risk management," the trade groups announced Thursday.
