Outer Space Cyberattacks and How to Imagine Novel Scenarios

Cyber attack

This work, authored by California Cybersecurity Institute's Henry Danielson, fills in key gaps in space cybersecurity discussions which typically consider only a couple of generic scenarios, namely something vague about satellite hacking and signals spoofing or jamming.  

It’s important to guard against a failure of imagination, which can be disastrous in security planning.  Hackers are already thinking very creatively, and this project applies structure to the “dark art” of anticipating those cyber threats—a method to the madness.  This helps defenders to generate a full range of scenarios in order to avoid tunnel-vision and stay ahead of would-be attackers.
