Service Overview
Comprehensive endpoint protection tailored for satellite systems, covering flight computers, onboard payload processors, ground control servers, operator workstations, and remote telemetry/telecommand consoles. Designed for constrained embedded environments, intermittent connectivity, and high‑assurance mission requirements.

Core Capabilities

• Space‑Hardened EDR: Lightweight, telemetry‑efficient agents or agentless telemetry collectors optimized for RTOS, Linux variants, and custom flight stacks; local buffering for intermittent links.
• Secure Boot & Runtime Integrity: Measured/secure boot, code signing enforcement, runtime integrity checks, and control‑flow protections suitable for embedded processors and FPGAs.
• Firmware Protection & OTA Security: Authenticated, integrity‑checked FOTA with rollback protection, staged updates, and cryptographic verification on receipt and apply.
• Anomaly Detection for Telemetry & Behavior: Baseline behavioral models for processes, command patterns, and telemetry; ML/heuristic detection for deviations indicating compromise or malfunction.
• Isolation & Sandboxing: Application partitioning, containerization where applicable, and execution sandboxes for third‑party payloads to limit blast radius.
• Least‑Privilege & Access Controls: Enforced privilege separation, signed operator commands, and granular role‑based access for on‑ground and in‑orbit control interfaces.
• Credential & Key Protection: Hardware root-of-trust integration, onboard key stores, secure key injection procedures, remote key rotation, and separation of operational keys from vendor keys.
• Incident Response & Forensics for Spacecraft: Space‑aware IR playbooks, secure telemetry snapshotting, forensic collection of onboard logs, and guidance for limited‑bandwidth evidence exfiltration.
• Resilience to RF/Physical Attacks: Detection of spoofing/jamming indicators, fallback safe modes, and hardened telemetry validation to prevent unauthorized commands.
• Ground Segment Integration: Unified visibility across ground and space endpoints, secure telemetry pipelines, SIEM/EDR correlation, and automated escalation to mission ops.
• Supply Chain & Component Assurance: SBOM integration, firmware provenance verification, and monitoring for anomalous component behavior indicative of supply‑chain compromise.
• Compliance & Mission Assurance: Configuration baselines, audit trails, and documentation to meet mission assurance and regulatory requirements.

Deliverables

• Endpoint security architecture for spacecraft and ground segments.
• Lightweight EDR/telemetry deployment plan and agent/configuration templates.
• Secure boot, FOTA, and key management runbooks.
• Telemetry anomaly detection rules, dashboards, and alerting playbooks.
• Incident response runbooks and forensic collection procedures for constrained environments.
• SBOM inventory, firmware assurance report, and remediation roadmap.

Engagement Models

• Assessment & Pilot: endpoint gap analysis, pilot agent deployment on representative hardware, and detection tuning.
• Implementation: full deployment of agents/collectors, secure boot and FOTA integrations, and ground‑segment correlation.
• Managed Monitoring & Response: continuous telemetry monitoring, alerting, and on‑demand IR support with space‑specific playbooks.
• Exercise & Validation: hardware‑in‑the‑loop testing, red‑team exercises against ground‑to‑space interfaces, and recovery drills.
