As satellites have become more and more integral to technology and internet use through things like GPS and other forms of communication, they have effectively become part of the Internet of Things. This opens up a whole new avenue for security vulnerabilities that will have to be addressed on a global scale. Major governments will have to set up frameworks, regulations, and alliances to facilitate a more proactive approach to satellite use and security in partnership with the private sector. With the growing trend towards commercial space travel and usage, security concerns will only increase as economic, military, and infrastructure concerns increasingly depend on space communication.
Agree with the article Matt. IoT in another 5-10 years is going to open up security vulnerabilities for many connected devices. With the advancement in space travel and GPS navigation used by majority of people today in travel and tracking, it will surely open another window of opportunity for hackers. I remember sometime back when there was a complaint that self-autonomous cars run on GPS of Uber had an accident because there was a back door forced control of the device by some hacker. Hope these things improve
