Photo: Shutterstock China has built a new cyber defence infrastructure that can automatically detect security weaknesses in orbiting satellites, according to military scientists involved in the project. There are thousands of satellites in space, each containing hundreds of components with potential software or hardware loopholes that can be exploited by hackers. The Ontology of Cyber Situational Awareness for Satellites (OntoCSA4Sat), a computer system jointly developed by the National University of Defence Technology in Changsha and Beijing Aerospace Control Centre, maintains a detailed database of satellites, according to the researchers. 05:06 How China’s space programme went from launching satellites to building its own space station HOW CHINA’S SPACE PROGRAMME WENT FROM LAUNCHING SATELLITES TO BUILDING ITS OWN SPACE STATION Unlike other openly reported databases, the new system can discover a satellite’s possible weaknesses, determine the most efficient ways to hack it or recommend countermeasures.
