Open-Source SATCOM Security Audit Framework (OSSCAF) – From Vulnerability Detection to Mission Assurance
We are currently working on a core activity within the ESA Cybersecurity Makerspace (ESA 1-12146) that focuses on the security of open-source software in SATCOM infrastructure. As satellite systems become more software-defined, relying on open-source components is inevitable. However, we’ve found that reactive patching isn’t a sustainable solution for space missions. Instead, our team is…
