Title

Cybersecurity in space systems, risks and countermeasures

Description

In the past few years our society and economy have become largely dependent on information technology, computer networks, and IoT solutions. Managing cyber-related risks and protecting against cyberattacks is therefore a growing concern requiring the identification and deployment of relevant cybersecurity measures and solutions. This session will encompass several topics: tools & methods aiming at preventing & forecasting attacks, risk assessment and cyber intelligence, protecting systems, infrastructures and data, space-enabled solutions, making secure the use of satellite communications, earth observation and satellite navigation, addressing all the means to mitigate cybersecurity risks and raising cybersecurity awareness via specific training, information sharing and analysis, addressing new areas of standardisation. New technologies and practices emerging in cybersecurity are also relevant such as the development of quantum cryptography and quantum key distribution, combining big data analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyse communications patterns and operations data. New trends include the development of new cyber security test ranges and certification schemes specific to each domain of activities, to better identify threats and vulnerabilities and devise customised solutions.
