The U.S. Space Force is exploring a #ZeroTrust approach to securing its space assets, which requires constant verification before granting access. This approach aims to address the #cybersecurity challenges posed by the growing number of commercial low-orbit satellites, by applying the same level of security to these third-party systems as to military space assets.

The Weaponization of Space working group in GSPIA's Matthew B. Ridgway Center for International Security Studies presented at The Pentagon earlier this semester. The group wrapped up months of research into potential threats to US security in space by offering policy recommendations to members of AFWERX and the US Space Force.

Quick Take: US Space Force Narrows Down Anti-Jamming Satellite Competition - Boeing and Northrop Grumman Lead the Race The US Space Force is developing a new constellation of anti-jamming communication satellites called Protected Tactical Satellite-Resilient (PTS-R). These satellites aim to provide secure communication for US forces in contested environments, resistant to cyber attacks and jamming attempts. The Space Force has requested $349 million in its fiscal year 2025 budget proposal for the PTS-R program, emphasizing its strategic importance. While the current focus is on Boeing and Northrop Grumman for PTS-R, the Space Force is also investing in a complementary constellation, PTS-G (Global). This program, with a budget request of $248 million in 2025, will focus on broader communication coverage and potentially open doors for other companies to contribute. #SpaceForce #MilitaryTechnology #SatelliteCommunication #Cybersecurity #DefenseIndustry #Boeing #NorthropGrumman #PTS

https://lnkd.in/dZef_ucY Why Connectivity and Critical Infrastructure Protection must redefine the Maritime Agenda by Christian Bueger  11 Jun 2024 Essential international infrastructures run over the seabed. Countries must update their protection agenda to preserve their integrity. When security at sea is discussed, the focus is most often on the surface. Ensuring freedom of navigation while maintaining safety and environmental standards are seen as the key problems. Armed attacks on shipping, by pirates, and other non-state actors are the threats that are often prioritized by naval strategists. Indeed, most multi-national naval missions and international capacity-building efforts today are directed at this surface challenge. Yet, in this brief essay I argue that the sea is a multi-dimensional space that goes beyond surface. In particular, the essay elucidates how the sea is composed of the crucial subsea and the seabed –where important infrastructures are installed –, closely linked to airspace, but also increasingly to the low orbit since satellites have become vital in navigation and remote sensing. The digital revolution in maritime transport, moreover, implies that the sea today is also closely interwoven with cyber space. As a result of such a complexity, the essay suggests that understanding the entanglements of these domains is essential in crafting maritime security strategy today.

Hear industry insider perspectives from Lauren Smith, Northrop Grumman, and Todd Nygren, The Aerospace Corporation, on how can we steward a functional and just ecosystem? “How do we govern what is sovereign territory in space? That's a key element of space security and protection. What are the laws that govern our use of space? How do we engage and interact with other nations and independent entities and government entities in space?” Lauren Smith “As we see more threats we're seeing the need to bring capabilities together in order to outpace our threat. Our allies are a huge part of providing the kind of capability we need.” Todd Nygren Explore crucial topics in #spacesecurity and #protection, where industry leaders will exchange insights, discuss strategies for a secure #spaceenvironment, and foster collaboration at 2024 ASCEND, 30 July - 1 August in Las Vegas. https://bit.ly/4dnwdvg #ascendspace #AIAA

With space systems playing an essential role in national infrastructure, they are becoming prime targets for cyberattacks. In response, the U.S. military is intensifying its cybersecurity measures for satellite programs. This focus is particularly crucial as the Space Development Agency (SDA) prepares to launch the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture, a low Earth orbit constellation, in the coming years. #CyberSecurity #SpaceDefense #SatelliteSecurity #SDA #NationalSecurity #DGTI
