“With foreign adversaries developing capabilities that threaten U.S. space operations, securing the future of space is one of the most urgent priorities of our time,” - Colonel Craig Frank, CIO, Space Systems Command Xage is honored to have been given the opportunity to work with two CIO's at Space Systems Command who have been crucial to moving the ball forward with implementing Zero Trust solutions for one of the DoD's most mission critical networks. Space Systems Command has published this article about their Zero Trust initiatives, and tapped Xage to tailor a strategic "Never Trust, Always Verify" cybersecurity model for SSC systems. This forward-thinking initiative is crucial for safeguarding space-based systems, ranging from terrestrial assets to satellites. It’s an impressive leap in ensuring national security and showcases the importance of innovative cybersecurity measures in the space industry.

The FAR Council has published a final rule creating a new part of the FAR--Part 40--focused on information security and supply chain security when the government acquires goods and services. The new rule doesn't implement any new policies or procedures. But significantly, it creates a single place in the FAR where, according to rule, the government and contractors will be able to readily find information security or supply chain security policies or procedures (citing Section 889's telecommunications rule as an example). The rule notes that a separate rulemaking will be issued to relocate the policies and procedures from elsewhere in the FAR into Part 40. Those who track cybersecurity requirements for government contractors will want to be prepared for the rule. Link is below. https://lnkd.in/etei7Tdd

Insightful thoughts on the risk of cyber attacks in space..

With cybersecurity for our coalition militaries, there can be no gaps. Integrating all branches, nations, and even commercial technology is more than necessary, including our space industry. U.S. military leaders are trying to team up with the private sector to cover their blind spots and increase their cybersecurity posture. I couldn’t think of a better move to make. As mentioned in the article, space assets can be destroyed or disabled with kinetic effects, but cyber threats can be just as deadly while being much harder to trace. Threats are no longer simply on the ground. It sounds like fiction, but these threats are in space, too. #USMilitary #Cybersecurity #CommercialSpaceIndustry

Stemming from the #EU #Space #Strategy for #Security and #Defence and facilitated by the European Commission and the EUSPA - EU Agency for the Space Programme, the EU Space #ISAC is a collaborative initiative for EU space sector companies to foster exchanges, raise #awareness and share best practices to strengthen their security. This cooperation, within the private ecosystem but also with public entities, aims at improving the overall #resilience of the EU space sector and thus better prevent, tackle and mitigate security-related challenges, including #cybersecurity. https://lnkd.in/d5ybJftU
