Title

Cybersecurity in space systems, risks and countermeasures

Description

With the rise of New Space and the emergence of the commercial space industry increasingly digital and data-dependent, the management of cyber-related risks and protection against cyberattacks has become a priority requiring the identification and deployment of relevant cybersecurity measures and solutions. This session aims at raising awareness on several related topics: cybersecurity risks encountered by space systems; tools and methods aiming at preventing and forecasting cyberattacks; risks assessment and cyber intelligence; countermeasures and engineering approaches to design and protect space systems, data, and space-enabled solutions; dedicated training, information sharing, and analysis; and cybersecurity standards on terrestrial systems and spaceflight operations to improve space systems resilience against cyber threats. New technologies and practices emerging in cybersecurity will also be presented such as the development of quantum cryptography and quantum key distribution or use of blockchain in space systems.
