On Friday, April 12th, 2024 at 11.30 am  a new appointment of NECSTFridayTalk titled: "Cybersecurity of Satellite Systems" will take place at DEIB NECSTLab Meeting Room and on line by Zoom.
During this talk, we will have, as speaker Daniele Mammone, PhD student in Information Technology at Politecnico di Milano on the following about the talk:

The introduction of IT components into satellite technologies has improved their flexibility and ease of maintenance, but also exposed them to cyber-security issues. This talk presents a cyber-security analysis of the satellite domain. Employing a lifecycle analysis approach, it highlights the possible issues threatening a satellite system during each phase of its lifecycle. Each issue is comprehensively analyzed, focusing on the factors introducing it into the system, and on how it poses a risk for the confidentiality, availability and integrity of the system. The outcome of this analysis is twofold: it identifies the malicious actors that have an interest in compromising the whole system, and in finding the vulnerabilities of the single components, opening the entire system to external attacks. After delineating how an attacker may exploit such vulnerabilities to conduct a complete attack, the talk concludes with the illustration of a possible attack scenario.

The NECSTLab is a DEIB laboratory, with different research lines on advanced topics in computing systems: from architectural characteristics, to hardware-software codesign methodologies, to security and dependability issues of complex system architectures.

Every week, the “NECSTFridayTalk” invites researchers, professionals or entrepreneurs to share their work experiences and projects they are implementing in the “Computing Systems”.
