dc.description.abstract | The growing dependence on satellite ground systems for critical applications such as telecommunications, navigation, and weather forecasting has underscored the importance of cybersecurity in these systems. This paper critically analyses the current state of cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities in satellite ground systems. Utilising a comprehensive literature review and critical analysis of existing scholarly works, technical papers, and industry reports, this study identifies key cyber threats, including unauthorised access, jamming, spoofing, Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), man-in-the-middle attacks, eavesdropping, and hijacking. The analysis reveals vulnerabilities in encryption protocols and communication channels. The study evaluates existing security measures and highlights gaps in empirical validation and practical implementation. It emphasises the need for robust encryption methods, advanced cryptographic techniques, and adaptive security strategies. We also discuss the crucial step of enhancing the resilience of satellite ground systems by incorporating developing technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and quantum cryptography. This paper concludes with practical recommendations, emphasising empirical validation of security measures and comprehensive risk management frameworks. The research aims to improve the security and reliability of satellite ground systems, ensuring their protection against evolving cyber threats and contributing to the overall enhancement of cybersecurity in this infrastructure | |
