Course Overview
As satellite technology becomes essential for communication, navigation, weather monitoring, and defence operations, cybersecurity risks in space infrastructure are gaining global attention. Protecting satellite systems requires an understanding of both aerospace technologies and cybersecurity principles. This mentor-led programme introduces professionals to the emerging field of space cybersecurity.
Over three days, participants explore the structure of satellite systems, including space segments, ground stations, and communication links. Through practical scenarios, learners analyse potential threat models, operational vulnerabilities, and security risks affecting satellite networks and supporting infrastructure.
The course also introduces communication security concepts, governance considerations, and the importance of resilient space systems. By the end of the programme, participants will understand the cybersecurity challenges associated with satellite operations and will be able to support risk awareness and security planning within space-related environments.
