The Satellite Security Challenge
Satellite systems form the backbone of global communications, navigation, weather monitoring, and critical infrastructure operations. These space-based assets face unique security challenges including signal interception, ground station breaches, and sophisticated cyber threats that could disrupt essential services worldwide. At Amynasec, we understand that satellite security requires specialized expertise in both space technology and cybersecurity to protect these vital assets from nation-state actors and advanced threat groups.
Key Security Challenges We Address:
- Signal Interception: Protecting satellite communications from eavesdropping and signal jamming attacks
- Ground Station Security: Securing terrestrial infrastructure that controls and monitors satellite operations
- Orbital Vulnerabilities: Testing for software and hardware vulnerabilities in satellite systems
- Cross-Layer Attacks: Identifying threats across space, ground, and user segments
- Supply Chain Risks: Assessing security of satellite components and manufacturing processes
Our Assessment Includes:
Communication Security Testing
Comprehensive assessment of satellite communication protocols, encryption mechanisms, and signal integrity. We analyze uplink/downlink security, telemetry protection, and command authentication to prevent unauthorized access to satellite systems.
Ground Station Assessment
Security testing of terrestrial facilities, control systems, and network infrastructure. We evaluate ground segment security including access controls, monitoring systems, and physical security measures.
Orbital System Analysis
In-depth analysis of satellite software, firmware, and onboard systems for vulnerabilities. We examine payload security, attitude control systems, and power management for potential exploits.
Threat Intelligence
Monitoring of space-based threats, adversarial activities, and emerging attack vectors. We track signal jamming attempts, interception activities, and sophisticated cyber operations targeting satellite assets.
Our Assessment Process
Reconnaissance & Threat Modeling
