Invisibility in Space?! 🧐

Space systems present wide cyber-attack surfaces. Indeed, controlling or more broadly communicating with satellites requires relying on broad distributed ground infrastructures often made up of components shared or located in foreign countries.

With space systems digitization, these infrastructures have become open and connected, making them prime targets for hackers who can exploit potential vulnerabilities as, for example, communication protocols were designed and developed at a time when systems were closed and space was still a haven of collaboration and cooperation.

To address these challenges, two teams of superheroes have joined their powers:

➕ Skynopy, a New Space service provider, which provides satellite operators end-to-end connectivity solution to communicate with their satellites in low Earth orbit;
➕ Snowpack , a cybersecurity spinoff from CEA, which, thanks to its patented VIPN technology, makes sensitive digital assets exposed on the Internet invisible.

🛠️Together, and thanks to European Space Agency – ESA BIC support, we are developing a way to secure and cloak satellite communications from the antenna to the end client – without disrupting operations or changing the way satellite teams work.

🔐The idea? To provide enhanced end-to-end protection and invisibility to satellite data flows – by using ‘s invisibility and seamlessly integrating it into Skynopy‘s infrastructure. Thus, there is no longer a risk of interception or modification of data traffic between the end client and the antenna.

🎙️ We will be speaking at CYSAT, the largest cybersecurity conference for the space industry, on May 13 and 14 in Paris, particularly on “Space Link Extension (SLE) Security.”
