The company launched an intrusion detection tool developed using classified U.S. government threat intelligence
The biggest known cyberattack of the Ukraine war happened more than a year ago when Russian hackers targeted satellite modems and knocked Viasat’s KA-SAT customers offline in Ukraine and other parts of Europe.
Viasat, a global communications firm based in Carlsbad, California, recently introduced a new threat-detection tool that can be applied to its entire global network, Craig Miller, president of Viasat Government Systems, told SpaceNews on the sidelines of the Satellite 2023 conference.
“Unfortunately this capability was not deployed on KA-SAT at the event that happened in 2022,” Miller said, although the development of this service began long before the KA-SAT event. The new service uses a “zero-trust approach” for network threat detection, the said.
Unlike traditional cybersecurity techniques that focus on perimeter defense and access control, a zero-trust architecture assumes all devices are potential threats. “We’re always looking at behavioral patterns,” Miller said. “Does it look different than normal? Does that look like a malicious thing? And we’re often able to find things that would be considered zero-day attacks.”
