At the Software Defined Space Conference #SDSC2024 in Tallinn, Estonia, Remco Timmermans interviews Alexandar Nikolov, a computer science student at ‪@taltechuniversity‬ , who participated in the 2024 edition of the Space Systems Software Security Testing Competition, that was held alongside the conference.

In this thought-provoking conversation, Alexandar discusses the growing importance of cybersecurity in space, particularly as adversary nations and cybercriminals increasingly target satellite systems.

As part of the competition, Alexandar and other participants tested the security vulnerabilities of space systems, identifying potential weak points that could be exploited by malicious actors. In the interview, he shares insights into the types of cyber threats facing satellite communications, navigation systems, and Earth observation infrastructure, as well as the innovative strategies and tools used to safeguard these critical assets.

Key topics include:

The risks posed by cyberattacks on satellite systems, including potential disruption of services and data theft.
How adversary countries and cybercriminals are increasingly targeting space infrastructure for strategic and financial gain.
The challenges of securing space-based assets in a highly interconnected and vulnerable digital landscape.
Alexandar’s experience in the Space Systems Security Testing Competition and the role of cybersecurity professionals in protecting the future of space systems.

Join Remco and Alexandar for an in-depth look at the critical importance of cybersecurity in space, and the efforts being made to protect satellite systems from emerging threats.
