Space Cybersecurity
Tier 2 · $5.3B (2025) · +15.6% CAGR
Space cybersecurity addresses the growing attack surface of satellite systems, including uplink/downlink jamming, spoofing, data interception, and ground system intrusion. As space systems become critical national infrastructure, protecting them from state-sponsored and criminal cyber threats is an urgent priority. The sector encompasses encrypted communications, zero-trust architectures for space networks, and threat monitoring for orbital assets.
