Satellite Cyber Security - the Last 'Final Frontier'.

Satellite cyber security is becoming a concern due to the reliance of the agriculture industry on satellite imagery and communications. National Cyber Director Harry Coker warned that satellites are a prime target for U.S. adversaries, including China, as they are vulnerable to cyber-attacks and have logistical and engineering challenges. While data security may not be a significant threat, threats related to satellite communications could pose a bigger problem, especially as this segment grows. Experts suggest stronger encryption, advanced communication methods, and reinforcement of intrusion detection and prevention systems to mitigate cyber-attacks on satellites. Upgrading regulations governing satellite security is also important. [Extracted from the article]
