Cybersecurity in the Next-Generation Space Age, Pt. 3: Securing the New Space


View Part 1, Introduction to New Space, and Part 2, Cybersecurity Threats in New Space, in this series.


As we see in the previous article of this series discussing the cybersecurity threats in the New Space, space technology is advancing at an unprecedented rate — with new technologies being launched into orbit at an increasingly rapid pace.


The need to ensure the security and safety of these technologies has never been more pressing.


So, let’s discover a range of measures to secure the space systems.


Security by Design


Security by design is an approach to designing systems, products, or applications with security as a primary consideration from the outset, rather than adding it as an afterthought.


Security by design is an important consideration in the New Space industry because New Space companies are often startups or smaller companies that are developing innovative solutions to space-related challenges, and security by design is essential to ensure the safety, reliability and security of these new technologies and satellites.


One of the key components used in the New Space industry is the software defined radio (SDR).


Let’s dive deeper into the application of a security by design approach for an SDR architecture.


Secure SDR Architecture


Software defined radio is the new groundbreaking technology leading this new space era.


Thus, securing the SDR architecture is an essential step in preventing cyberattacks.


The European Secure Software Defined Radio (ESSOR) is a project created by nine European countries. It seeks to develo ..
