ECSO outlines six priorities for EU space cybersecurity policy, from secure-by-design systems to threat intelligence sharing
The European Cybersecurity Organisation (ECSO) published a framework calling for a coordinated industrial policy to secure Europe's space infrastructure, warning that regulation alone is insufficient. The report identifies six priority areas: security-by-design across system lifecycles, post-quantum cryptography implementation, ground-segment hardening, continuous security testing, supply-chain governance, and improved threat intelligence sharing. ECSO advocates for a long-term public-private partnership to align investment, innovation, and capability across Europe's fragmented space sector.
Why it matters: European space operators, satellite manufacturers, and government agencies must prepare for new cybersecurity requirements under the proposed EU Space Act and must participate in coordinated investment and standardization efforts to remain competitive while securing critical infrastructure.
