Threats in Space: The Dangerous Rise of GNSS Attacks
Ever wondered how GPS guides you from point A to B without fail? The magic lies in GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems), which underpin critical services like navigation, finance, power grids, and water supply. However, these indispensable systems are increasingly under attack. Disruptions to GNSS are escalating, raising alarms among governments, airlines, and telecoms about the risk of cascading failures or disasters.
Interestingly, many disruptions coincide with recent geopolitical tensions, drawing the interest of hacktivist groups. Why are GNSS systems such attractive targets for threat actors, and how vulnerable are they? This talk explores the inner workings of GNSS, their vulnerabilities, and the far-reaching consequences of compromising these systems.
Key points include:
● GNSS constellations and daily use cases
● Threats to GNSS and their rapid rise
● Hacktivism targeting GNSS systems
● Exposed GNSS instances on the internet
● Strategies for defending against these attacks
Join us to uncover the threats, actors, and defenses in this critical domain. GNSS is everywhere, but how safe is it?
