Atos wins R&D project with ESA to improve cybersecurity of satellite testing platforms

Paris, France, and Vienna, Austria – Oct five, 2021

Atos has been awarded a agreement by the European Place Company (ESA) underneath ARTES C&G program to create a product to make improvements to the cybersecurity of Electrical Ground Aid Gear (EGSE) platforms which test the electrical process of satellites prior to they are staying introduced.

As cyber risks no longer end at terrestrial borders, Atos will emphasis on setting up units that avert and counter cyber-attacks looking for to get handle or to hurt satellites or screening gear through screening section. This entails spanning all units to identify current and upcoming vulnerabilities, mapping all feasible threats, building new security characteristics, making certain finish targeted traffic encryption, guaranteeing interaction integrity, and continuously monitoring the security. Atos is the European chief in cybersecurity services with a world-wide crew of around six,000 security specialists and will use its abilities to guarantee satellites are secure and secure.

Atos is delighted to lead with ESA to this phase forward in shielding ESA satellites. This job signifies a important challenge for Atos as, until now, electrical screening was operated offline in a shut and controllable environment – which did not involve any specific security mechanisms. As tactics evolve and remote operations are now performed on-line from remote destinations, it is needed to adopt appropriate cybersecurity actions. In this system, a lot of prolonged-recognized remote protocols (SCPI, simple telnet, PUS/EDEN) will have to be secured – which could have the impact of environment new expectations throughout the overall EGSE sector.

“We are pleased to bring our cybersecurity abilities to the satcom neighborhood to secure the EGSE units we have been building and mastering for a lot of several years. It is a genuine honor to lead to this evolution of the satellite sector.” reported Bruno Milard, VP, Head of Aerospace and Defense Electronics at Atos.

This job is co-funded by ESA and its effects will serve the Satcom industrial and institutional industry. Additional data about the exploration job https://artes.esa.int/tasks/cyber-security-egse-scoe and about Atos’ remedies for electrical satellite screening https://atos.web/egse.
