Abstract
ABSTRACT Since the beginning of the 21st century, a notable increase in cyber-attack occurrences has led to a central focus on discussion of cybersecurity capabilities and the national organizations responsible for them. The United States Space Force (USSF) was established in 2019 to consolidate organizational capabilities for addressing national security threats to U.S. military assets in the space domain. The principal aim of this research is to examine the USSF and its mission to safeguard U.S. space infrastructure from cyber-attacks in the context of the emerging domain of space-based security. To accomplish this goal, this paper examines the USSF and the distinctive cybersecurity challenges confronted by comprehensive U.S. space infrastructure. In this analysis, the cybersecurity strategies currently employed by the USSF. are identified as to their strengths and weaknesses, and how the strategies interact with the private sector, government agencies, and universities. An extensive review of cybersecurity experts in the space domain is conducted to gain an understanding of the military space cyber domain. The paper evaluates the increasing risk of cyberattacks by exploring cases of recent cybercrimes against the United States perpetrated by national adversaries, organizations, and cybercriminals.
