Lack of security controls within aerospace technology could mean outer space is the next target for cyber hackers.
He explains, “Traditionally the aerospace industry has relied on obfuscation as a means to protect itself. However, as we have witnessed within Critical infrastructure the real world exploits quickly follow identified vulnerabilities.
“The proliferation of satellites, used to support our everyday connectivity and communications, makes this a growing attack vector. Indeed we have seen multiple examples of vulnerabilities within satellite networks, and this being exploited for criminal gain.”
