US Space Force Enhances Cybersecurity for Space Launch Operations

US Space Force Enhances Cybersecurity for Space Launch Operations

The US Space Force (USSF) has established two new squadrons dedicated to defending space launch operations from cyberattacks. The 630th Cyberspace Squadron was activated at Vandenberg Space Force Base, while the 645th Cyberspace Squadron was reassigned to Patrick Space Force Base. These squadrons are tasked with real-time monitoring and defense against potential cyber threats during launch operations. The initiative reflects the growing importance of cybersecurity in space operations, as digital threats have become a significant concern alongside traditional physical security measures.

Iran-Backed Hackers Target US Critical Infrastructure, Disrupt Operations

Iran-Backed Hackers Target US Critical Infrastructure, Disrupt Operations

Iranian-affiliated hackers have been targeting US critical national infrastructure (CNI) providers, causing operational disruptions and financial losses. According to a Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) advisory, these threat actors have been focusing on internet-facing operational technology (OT) assets, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs) from Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley. The sectors affected include government services, water and wastewater systems, and energy. The hackers have been manipulating data on human-machine interface (HMI) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) displays. They use configuration software to establish connections to targeted PLCs via overseas IP addresses. CISA has urged US organizations to review tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and indicators of compromise (IOCs) to mitigate risks.
