Space infrastructure has become an integral part of everyday life, with individuals, businesses and governments relying overwhelmingly on it. However, despite the space industry’s technical sophistication, its cybersecurity efforts have lagged behind that of other high-tech sectors. Block Armour has developed a next-gen Zero Trust Cybersecurity solution explicitly designed for connected devices, integrated IoT systems and related communication networks. And, is extending the solution to deliver Zero Trust Cybersecurity for Software-defined Space based Systems.

The Challenge: Despite
the space industry’s
technical sophistication,
its cybersecurity efforts
have lagged behind that
of other high-tech sectors
In 2014, hackers breached the U.S. weather systems
satellite network (NOAA) that is vital to disaster planning,
aviation, shipping and scores of other crucial uses
A researcher at the Black Hat 2018 conference revealed how
attackers could take control of SATCOM devices to remotely
compromise security and attack planes, boats, and military tech
The International Space Station was infected with a virus
called W32.Gammima.AG in 2008, after a cosmonaut
brought a compromised laptop aboard
Given it’s strategic importance, space systems are increasingly becoming the target of cyberattacks
Space infrastructure has become an integral part of everyday life, with
individuals, businesses and governments relying overwhelmingly on it

The Opportunity: With the shift towards Software-defined satellites and systems;
the industry has an opportunity to fix the long-standing security issues
Shift from custom
hardware dependence to
fully digital, virtualized,
software-defined systems
Virtualization of payload
functions and satellite
capabilities using software;
adjustable for different uses
Ability to manage security
holistically alongside the
scaling of data and
compute capabilities
The shift from specific purpose-built, proprietary hardware to more advanced software-defined, modular architectures and open
extensible frameworks allows for security to be built into the core of these next-gen Space systems

The Solution: Block Armour was
accelerated by Airbus and has
developed a next-gen Zero Trust
Cybersecurity solution IoTArmour;
explicitly designed for connected
IoT devices, critical systems and
related communication networks
The solution was featured as one of the Top 25
innovations worldwide in cybersecurity by Accenture

The Building Blocks: The solution is powered by Software Defined
Perimeter (SDP) architecture & Blockchain technology
SDP architecture renders core systems and communication gateways invisible to attackers; while customized agents along
with private Blockchain technology delivers a new breed of digital identity and access control for all connected devices
Software Defined Perimeter (SDP)
Developed at the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). Used by the DHS & DoD
All communication between devices and control systems is secured using 4096 bit RSA encryption

Deployed a demo of the
solution at the Capgemini
Applied Innovation Center
in Singapore
The solution is being
tested at the National
Cybersecurity Lab,
Singapore
As declining launch costs, advances in technology and rising private sector interest is propelling space exploration into a trillion-
dollar industry, Block Armour is stepping up to address the challenges and keep space infra and networks secure
