  • Abstract:
  • As space-based internet systems continue to advance rapidly in providing global connectivity, they bring forth distinct cybersecurity challenges that differ from those encountered in traditional terrestrial networks. These satellite-powered systems, essential for reducing digital disparities, confront cybersecurity threats such as jamming, spoofing, and unauthorized access, which are not commonly encountered in ground-based networks. This article delves into the cybersecurity implications associated with space-based internet infrastructure, highlighting the risks posed to worldwide data networks and essential services. By conducting a thorough examination of prevailing vulnerabilities and emerging threat vectors, this research investigates the convergence of satellite technology, network security, and cyber defense strategies. Moreover, it assesses current methods for mitigating risks, encompassing encryption protocols, anomaly detection systems, and decentralized security frameworks. The study emphasizes the importance of international cooperation, robust regulatory frameworks, and innovative approaches to safeguard these crucial systems. Through addressing these complexities, this investigation seeks to offer practical insights geared towards fortifying the resilience and security of space-based connectivity in our ever more interconnected global landscape.
