Abstract


Space is crucial to many aspects of modern life, both in the civilian and military domains. Any act that threatens the good functioning of space systems could have severe consequences for life on earth. One area where the security of space systems is vital, is strategic stability. The major space faring nations, many of whom are also nuclear possessor states, rely on space systems in three key areas: 1) nuclear command, control, and communications; 2) monitoring of arms control agreements; and 3) global positioning for their militaries.

There are several different ways that space systems can be attacked. One of the biggest threats comes from cyber-attack. Space and cyber-space are now increasingly interlinked, meaning that space systems – the satellites, the data links, and the ground stations – are exposed to cyber-attack. Understanding the links between space and cyber-space is needed to protect space assets from attack. Preventing cyber-attacks on space systems will help keep these essential systems functioning and help to maintain international peace and security.

This webinar will discuss the space-cyber security nexus. It will focus on the consequences for strategic stability should major states carry out cyber-attacks on each other’s space systems. It will consider whether there are any lessons to learn from the UN cyber security processes and how to address these threats in the context of space security negotiations.
