Securing Space 4.0 – One Small Step or a Giant Leap? Part 2

This McAfee ATR blog analyzes cybersecurity risks for the emerging Space 4.0 ecosystem—small satellites, COTS components, ground-station-as-a-service and inter-satellite networking—highlighting protocol and implementation vulnerabilities (e.g., CubeSat/CSP and space TCP/IP stacks), plausible attack scenarios (including wormable exploits propagating across constellations and GSaaS/cloud compromises), and recommending governance, secure reference architectures, hardware/software bill-of-materials, detection/response, and community collaboration to secure space infrastructure.
