Advancing cybersecurity for modern LEO constellations - with Terma

Episode 86 of The Space Industry podcast by satsearch is a conversation with Andy Armitage, Senior Architect Terma, on approaches towards advancing the state of cybersecurity for modern LEO constellations.

Terma's space business provides mission-critical electronics, software, and services for space applications.

In the episode, Andy speaks with satsearch CEO Kartik Kumar about a range of topics including:

• Ground segment security & credentialing: The vulnerabilities of legacy systems, user access management, and using standards like OAuth 2 to secure credentials.
• Satellite key management & lockout risks: The operational delicacy of key cycling and the importance of following established standards like CCSDS to avoid getting locked out.
• System interoperability & hosted AI applications: Balancing open standards versus vendor lock-in, alongside the security considerations of sandboxing hosted software and leveraging AI in design and operations.
