Op-Ed | THESIGN.MEDIA: SATCOM Networks are Not Impenetrable (but Some Pretend They Are) | Gabriel Gonzalez

THESIGN.MEDIA | Gabriel Gonzalez, IOActive Director of Hardware Security, recently wrote an op-ed for THESIGN.MEDIA discussing IOActive’s research into vulnerabilities of SATCOM infrastructures. This is a topic that IOActive has continued to warn the industry about dating back to our findings in 2014. Gabriel expands saying, “From an attacker’s perspective, modern SATCOM systems resemble under-secured enterprise networks – except their failure modes carry national, economic, and physical consequences.”

“In this op-ed, Gabriel Gonzalez, Director of Hardware Security at IOActive, Inc., draws on deep expertise in reverse engineering, hardware hacking, embedded systems security, and fault injection to expose how modern SATCOM infrastructures reflect the weaknesses of under-secured enterprise networks – and why satellite protection requires an adversarial security mindset.”
