Modern technical means of information security for monitoring of the ground control complex of the satellite network

Saveliev Roman Nikolaevich

The main advantages of using satellite communication networks, as well as the main problems of ensuring information security, are considered. Over the past decade, satellites have been found to play an increasingly important role in modern technology, from providing geolocation and logistics and navigation capabilities to intelligence gathering by nation states. The satellite industry has been found to have experienced a renaissance over the past few years and is now in a leading position to play a key role in meeting ever-increasing market demands such as 5G transport network, Internet of Things (IoT) and space exploration. However, the increased use of satellites has made satellite communications networks a target for hackers seeking to compromise confidential information with potentially devastating consequences, including for the ground control complex. When it comes to protecting data carried by satellites, security cannot be secondary. Ensuring information security while monitoring the ground control complex of a satellite network should play an integral part in the design of any satellite network. Purpose of the work: presentation of modern technical means of information security during monitoring of the ground control complex of the satellite network. When writing the work, the methods of analysis, comparison, generalization were used. As a result of the work, recommendations were formed on ensuring information security for ground control systems of the satellite network. Example of monitoring systems that can be used in a ground control complex to ensure information security are presented. The presented results can be used by ground control systems of a satellite network to improve information security. Based on the results of writing the article, it was found that the use of modern technical means when monitoring the ground control complex of the satellite network is mandatory to ensure information security.
