The project aims at the development of a new service, a cyber-physical platform that enhances the security over satellite public safety networks. DEGREES will introduce new services to support crisis management through a communication framework with reinforced security and increased reliability. GreeCom is an existing closed satellite network connecting governmental agencies and public security forces under the coverage of Hellas Sat satellites. The objective of the project is to design, develop, verify and validate a full cybersecurity modular system as an add-on to be integrated in the existing Greecom architecture.
The main goal of DEGREES is the study, design and assessment of a security system based on multiple technologies in order to protect space control ground stations and satellite links against cyber attacks, and to activate intelligent reconfiguration mechanisms in case of failure or compromise concerning the ground stations networks and the satellite links.
