Abstract

As the reliance on satellite communication systems grows for global connectivity, military operations, weather forecasting, and critical infrastructure, protecting these space-based assets from cyber threats and physical interference becomes paramount. This talk delves into the vulnerabilities present in satellite communication (SatCom) systems, highlighting potential attack vectors such as signal jamming, spoofing, and data interception. It will explore the latest advancements in securing satellite communications, focusing on both defensive and offensive strategies to safeguard the integrity and availability of these vital systems. By understanding the risks and the cutting-edge methods for mitigating them, the audience will gain valuable insights into the protection of space-based assets in an increasingly connected world.
