Satellite Industry Needs to Invest More in Cybersecurity: NSR

Relying on standards, anti-jamming capabilities and customized offerings will help to boost overall cybersecurity in the satellite industry, but they won't be enough in times of cyberwarfare, Northern Sky Research analyst Charlotte Van Camp blogged Wednesday. Instead, there must be more investment in resilient systems and in streamlining cybersecurity between commercial satellite operators, government and end users, she said. Without that, risks, ease of access and cyber impacts will grow. End users also bear some responsibility, as they often have no or minimal methods for securing their data, creating security gaps for attackers to exploit.
