Review of Different Geospatial Perspectives for the Identification and Mitigation of Potential Security Threats to Satellite Platforms

Abstract

Satellite infrastructure plays a vital role in today's world. As more systems rely on this technology it increasingly becomes a target for security threats. The existence of such risks has been acknowledged internationally as more resources are allocated to their study and understanding. In this context, studying satellite technologies from a geospatial perspective has provided a situational awareness understanding of the technology ecosystem and its strengths, limitations, and vulnerabilities. New technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain must be studied to generate security countermeasures for satellite technologies.
