Space Support Research in the Communication Sectors and Risk Determination

The communication sector, also known as the telecommunications industry, plays a vital role in the economy by providing essential infrastructure and services for transmitting voice, data, and video traffic, contributing significantly to driving economic growth and fostering innovation. It is crucial to prioritize safeguarding our

communication networks, as it is vital to ensure the security of our data to maintain the trust of consumers and businesses, given the numerous cybersecurity threats that endanger the security of our communication sector. The importance of security is due to increased private sector involvement in the space industry, resulting in a global market worth $269 billion as of 2017 and the attraction of new participants and initiatives. This transition towards profit-driven economics has also led to faster research and development turnaround times and smaller, flexible teams resembling the IT industry rather than traditional aerospace or military organizations. This research

aims to deepen our understanding of the vulnerabilities and risks associated with Core Targeted Systems in the Communication Sector and provided insights into effective strategies for countering adversarial tactics in these critical domains. By examining Space System Risk Insights and exploring Space System Adversarial Tactics Use Case Tactics, the authors seeks to contribute to developing a more robust and resilient communication infrastructure in space.
