Atos wins R&D project with ESA to improve cybersecurity of satellite testing platforms
Paris, France, and Vienna, Austria – Oct five, 2021
Atos has been awarded a contract by the European Space Company (ESA) beneath ARTES C&G program to establish a item to enhance the cybersecurity of Electrical Ground Support Tools (EGSE) platforms which check the electrical procedure of satellites in advance of they are currently being launched.
As cyber pitfalls no for a longer period halt at terrestrial borders, Atos will emphasis on developing devices that reduce and counter cyber-attacks in search of to get management or to injury satellites or screening products in the course of screening period. This will involve spanning all devices to discover present and future vulnerabilities, mapping all feasible threats, establishing new protection options, making certain total targeted visitors encryption, guaranteeing communication integrity, and constantly monitoring the protection. Atos is the European chief in cybersecurity companies with a world crew of in excess of 6,000 protection specialists and will use its skills to ensure satellites are secure and protected.
Atos is delighted to lead with ESA to this action forward in shielding ESA satellites. This undertaking signifies a big challenge for Atos as, until now, electrical screening was operated offline in a closed and controllable environment – which did not involve any unique protection mechanisms. As techniques evolve and remote functions are now carried out on-line from remote places, it is needed to adopt ideal cybersecurity actions. In this system, lots of extended-recognized remote protocols (SCPI, basic telnet, PUS/EDEN) will have to be secured – which could have the impact of environment new specifications across the whole EGSE marketplace.
“We are pleased to bring our cybersecurity skills to the satcom community to protected the EGSE devices we have been establishing and mastering for lots of decades. It is a real honor to lead to this evolution of the satellite marketplace.” claimed Bruno Milard, VP, Head of Aerospace and Protection Electronics at Atos.
This undertaking is co-funded by ESA and its outcomes will provide the Satcom industrial and institutional industry.
