In Partnership With

🛡️ Welcome to the second edition of Space Security Sentinel, a dedicated newsletter exploring the intersection of cybersecurity and space.

We launched this newsletter in December to provide a resource for in-depth features, exclusive interviews, and actionable intel into the challenges and innovations shaping space security. We encourage you to share it with colleagues and peers who are as passionate about advancing this field as you are.

In this edition, we examine how Earth Observation companies confront cyber threats, featuring insights from Maxar CISO Norm Laudermilch. We also explore the evolving landscape of quantum standards and revisit key takeaways from CyberSat 2024.

Looking ahead, the Call for Technical Presentations (CFTP) for CyberSat 2025 (happening November 17-19 in Reston) opens next month, inviting highly technical and methods-based submissions to help shape our most impactful dual-track program yet.

We’re always open to your feedback and story ideas for Space Security Sentinel ✉️ please reach out at mholmes@accessintel.com — Mark Holmes, Program Chair, CyberSat

How Earth Observation Companies Stay Ahead of the Cyber Threat
In a new era of warfare enabled by commercial products and services, owners and operators of earth observation constellations are finding themselves on the frontlines of novel conflicts, often fought with technology rather than weapons and deliberately kept below the level of armed combat.

Earth Observation (EO) satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) have experienced interference with their radio frequency, or RF, communications as they pass over conflict zones on Earth below, multiple industry sources say.…[continued]

SPARTA: A Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures Framework for the Space-Cyber Professional

The space enterprise must employ robust security principles, standards and defense-in-depth techniques to ensure resiliency against cyber intrusions. The Aerospace Corporation develops and tests innovative space-cyber solutions, including the Space Attack Research and Tactic Analysis (SPARTA) framework. Aerospace created SPARTA (available free to the public) to provide unclassified information about how spacecraft may be uniquely compromised and how to overcome those threats.
