Securing a Secure Future for Space as a Global Responsibility Collaboration and Governance
In
Space
Defending technology in space requires a range of strategies, and an open-minded approach is key to preparing for inventive attackers and an evolving tech environment.
Technologies and threats are constantly evolving, and as such, it's important to consider a wide variety of hypothetical near- and far-future concerns. Doing so can help in developing resiliency and response measures that stand up to adversary surprises. It can also help shape space cybersecurity policies that remain relevant long term.
​
As our reliance on digital systems in space grows, so does the threat from cyberattacks, which can disrupt operations, steal proprietary information, or even compromise national security. However, the challenge of ensuring robust cybersecurity is multifaceted. In terms of legislation, laws often lag behind the rapidly evolving cyber threats, creating regulatory gaps that make it difficult to enforce comprehensive protections. Additionally, general cybersecurity awareness remains low, with many organizations and individuals underestimating the risks or lacking the knowledge to implement effective defenses.
​
Building cyber resilience is another significant hurdle, requiring continuous efforts to not only prevent attacks but also to recover swiftly when they occur. Without addressing these challenges, the risks to critical space infrastructure could have far-reaching and potentially catastrophic consequences.

​
In advance, we provide conferences focused on our research in cybersecurity and international law, specifically tailored to the space sector. These events provide insights into the latest developments and challenges at the intersection of space technology, cybersecurity, and global legal frameworks
Combining rigorous research with active participation in these events is essential for governments to stay ahead of the curve and enhance their cybersecurity resilience.
Law
In Your Cyberspace
Law in Your Cyberspace
As space exploration and satellite technology rapidly advance, the need for robust cybersecurity and a clear understanding of international law has never been more critical. International law currently falls short of providing clarity or enforceability around space cyber norms. Some international agreements may address parts of the landscape. For example, the United Nations' International Telecommunication Union constitution seems to prohibit jamming and spoofing, but the union lacks enforcement capabilities. Meanwhile, several international treaties regarding expected behavior in space — like the Outer Space Treaty —were crafted years before space cybersecurity became a concern and so they do not specifically discuss it.
Our specialized consulting services are designed to address these emerging challenges, offering comprehensive solutions to protect space assets and ensure compliance with international regulations.
