The ESA Cyber Security Training Range

摘要

Space-based systems play an important role in our daily life and business. The trend is likely to rely on the use of such systems in a growing number of services or applications that can be either safety-or-life critical or business and mission-critical. The security measures implemented in space-based systems are often insufficient to guarantee the information assurance properties, in particular resilience, availability and integrity of these services or applications. The various and possible cyber attacks on space segments, ground stations and their control segments are meanwhile well known and experienced in many cases, albeit continuously evolving. The professional use of a Cyber Security Training Range, a simulation infrastructure where various scenarios can be recreated and tested, to educate Mission planners. Mission engineers and System administrators on the possible attacks at the different mission phases shall be available as a daily working asset. This paper addresses the set-up at the ESA site in Redu, Belgium, of a cyber security training range and its planned and potential usage.
