AI-Assisted Tool Helped Secure Satellite Communication System After 2022 Russian Hacking
On the same day it invaded Ukraine in 2022, Russia disabled thousands of satellite modems across Ukraine and other European countries, aiming to disrupt communications. A new AI-assisted tool aims to help close that kind of vulnerability amid concerns about continued Russian aggression and newer Iranian threats to cyber infrastructure.
The cybersecurity company Atalanta has released “Argo” — a product that includes the technology now being used to prove the resilience of Viasat’s satellite communications network, which was targeted in the 2022 hacking attack, against emerging adversary attacks. Industry experts say it presents a new capability for those trying to defend critical systems in the emerging cyberwarfare theater.
Atalanta’s leaders say the new technology relies on what it calls “software understanding,” combining complex mathematics along with artificial intelligence technology to create the first commercially available system that can analyze software and internet-connected systems for vulnerabilities in a more comprehensive...
