New Report Warns Of Expanding Attack Surface In Low Earth Orbit

A new report warns that the growing number of satellite communication systems in low-Earth orbit is expanding the attack surface for malicious cyber actors. The report, authored by several international intelligence agencies including the National Security Agency, notes that these systems provide critical services such as low-latency internet and mobile backhaul, but face unique security challenges due to their distributed architecture and reliance on radio frequency links. The report emphasizes the urgent need for robust cybersecurity measures to protect against potential disruptions and data exposure, as reported by Breaking Defense.
