A chapter co-authored by Prof. Dr. Mohammed Abdur Rahman, “The Intersection of Cybersecurity and Space: Navigating the Threat Landscape of Modern Space Systems”, will appear as Chapter 2 of the forthcoming book Cybersecurity in Space: Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Countermeasures, edited by Abebe Diro and Mohiuddin Ahmed and published by CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group (1st Edition, 2026; 33 pages).
Satellites now underpin navigation, communications, Earth observation and much of today’s critical infrastructure, which makes space systems a growing cyber target. The chapter maps the threat landscape of modern space systems, where cybersecurity and space engineering meet.
The work was led by first author Md Hasanul Ferdaus, with co-authors Faisal Alhwikem, Fares Alharbi, Savitri Bevinakoppa, Mohammad Manzurul Islam and Md Sawkat Ali.
