Satellite Ground Segment: Applying the Cybersecurity Framework to Satellite Command and Control

The intent of this report is to introduce the Cybersecurity Framework by applying it to create a Profile for the space sector’s ground segment.

The Profile provides a flexible framework for stakeholders to manage risks. Organizations are encouraged to make their risk management decisions in the context of their own cyber ecosystem, architecture, and risk tolerance. The goal of the profile is to supplement preexisting resilience measures and elevate the postures of less mature initiatives.
