Today, every facet of space, from complex ground stations to data transport facilities, to the spacecraft themselves, faces the same challenge: cyberattacks that can disable systems vital to national & homeland security and military situational awareness.
Space assets are equally important to critical infrastructure sectors — healthcare, emergency services, financial transactions, energy and water supply — that rely on space-driven GPS, accurate timing and other essential functions.
The number one responsibility of the space community is to safeguard our space assets with advanced cybersecurity solutions that anticipate and defeat attacks.
ManTech’s Space Range applies the company’s cyber range technology to the challenge of identifying and capturing the unique threats and vulnerabilities in space.
