Paul Vout discusses his experience participating in a SatCom cyber exercise focused on satellite-based cyber threats and techniques. The exercise aimed to simulate attacks on a real satellite called Moonlighter, with a focus on directional control and energy consumption. Paul highlights the importance of precise coordination of cameras and solar panels on satellites and the potential vulnerabilities in these areas. He also emphasizes the need for a structured process and framework in OT cyber exercises to guide analysts and improve training. Overall, the exercise provided valuable insights into securing satellite systems and can inform the cybersecurity practices in other OT domains.
