Zusammenfassung:Space borne systems, such as communication satellites, sensory, surveillance, GPS and a multitude of other functionalities, form an integral part of global ICT cyber infrastructures. However, a focused discourse highlighting the distinctive threats landscape of these space borne assets is conspicuous by its absence. This article specifically considers the interplay of Space and Cyberspace to highlight security challenges that warrant dedicated attention in securing these complex infrastructures. This article additionally adds summary opinions on (a) emerging technology trends and (b) advocacy on technological and policy issues needed to support security responsiveness and mitigation.
