What is
Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Security Assessment
Satellite Communications (SATCOM) are critical components of the information superhighway's global infrastructure. We live in an age when an increasing amount of digital data is being transferred between continents. Those who control the flow of communications benefit. The ability to disrupt, inspect, modify, or reroute traffic creates an incalculably valuable opportunity for surveillance and cyber-attacks. Terrestrial network infrastructures are physically constrained and therefore incapable of supporting certain types of activity. Numerous satellite constellations orbit the Earth to close this performance gap. These networks perform various functions, including providing Internet access to remote areas, assisting vessels and aircraft in operating safely, and providing critical communication links to military and emergency services during armed conflicts or natural disasters. In the following industries, satellite networks are frequently used:
Aeronautics
Naval
Armed forces/governments
Assistance in an emergency
Commercial (oil rigs, gas, electricity)
Mass media
The Satellite Communications (satcoms) industry exemplifies a sophisticated cyber-physical aerospace system. Satcom systems are designed to provide secure, robust communications while guarding against targeted attacks and component failure and operating effectively in harsh environmental conditions. Due to the prohibitively high replacement cost, satellite communications spacecraft are frequently designed to last more than a decade and must operate continuously - any downtime is considered unacceptable.
Our approach to Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Security Assessment
Expert solutions for the Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Security Assessment to secure your channels, network and assets.
Pre Engagement
Conduct a preliminary company analysis better to understand the business processes and the surrounding world, and then narrow the scope accordingly.
Scoping
To identify the scope (People, Process, and Technology) as applicable, our consultants will first understand your business processes, controls, and systems.
Threat Modelling
This phase's main goal is to create a threat profile using aggressive threat intelligence and threat modelling exercises. As a result, security consultants can better tailor the best test cases for identifying major vulnerabilities.
Classification of Critical Assets
Identify the critical information assets and identify them appropriately to create a separate inventory of them.
Risk Assessment
This is the most critical stage of implementation because it is during this stage that an asset register containing all of the organisation's information assets is created. This process entails meeting and conversing with your organisation's key stakeholders. The critical information assets are then subjected to a comprehensive risk assessment, from which appropriate controls to mitigate identified risks are selected.
Risk Treatment
Our Consultants classify identified risks and assist you in strategising appropriate Risk Treatment measures.
Employee Training
Our classroom instruction includes classes on general awareness, management, technological skills, and hacking. Our e-learning solution may be delivered onboard or in the office, enabling your personnel to address critical components of any cyber security system - including the human factor.
Report Submission
Once the assessment is complete, a detailed written report outlining each observed and or exploited vulnerability, along with the root cause analysis and categorisation along with mitigation and confirmatory retest certificate if the need arrives.
Support
What really makes us stand apart is our excellent and round the clock support, making sure our clients never have to witness hurdles in the business.

Why
Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Security Assessment
Satellites now account for a sizable portion of human communication. Global positioning systems, military strategies, data collection, environmental research, and even the internet rely on these invaluable assets' smooth operation and integration. Given that all satellites rely on cyber technology, there is a growing understanding of the importance of satellite information security. Furthermore, in an age when nation-states are engaging in cyber warfare against one another, satellites allow malicious actors to damage infrastructure and other assets significantly.
Satellites must communicate with their controllers, both in space and on Earth and with other satellites orbiting the Earth. Moreover, this information exchange takes place over internet networks. As a result, they have numerous points of weakness, making them vulnerable to cyberattacks. The importance of satellites in modern life cannot be overstated. To name a few, Satellites are critical to the smooth operation of mobile phone networks, complex navigation systems, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, large-scale electrical grids, and power suppliers. If there is damage, the consequences are severe and far-reaching.
