What Cybersecurity Framework Profile for Hybrid Satellite Networks (HSN) requires
The space sector is transitioning towards Hybrid Satellite Networks (HSN), which are an aggregation of independently owned and operated terminals, antennas, satellites, payloads, or other components that comprise a satellite system. An HSN may interact with government systems and critical infrastructure, requiring a framework to assess the security posture of individual components while enabling the HSN to provide its function. This report, the HSN Cybersecurity Framework Profile (HSN Profile), applies the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to HSNs with an emphasis on the interfaces between participants. Developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in collaboration with subject matter experts, the HSN Profile provides voluntary, practical guidance for organizations and stakeholders engaged in the design, acquisition, and operation of HSN components. It serves as a starting point for stakeholders assessing their cybersecurity posture. The profile helps organizations to identify systems, assets, data, and risks; protect HSN services through self-assessments; detect cybersecurity-related disturbances; respond to data anomalies in a timely manner; and recover the HSN to proper working order after an incident. It is suitable for applications involving multiple stakeholders in imagery, sensing, broadcast, communications, or other space-based architectures.
