SIEM for AIRBUS DEFENSE AND SPACE

AIRBUS DEFENCE AND SPACE

Recognising security incidents and initiating countermeasures

Internet connection to the International Space Station (ISS)

Columbus module

The European Space Agency (ESA) is involved in the International Space Station (ISS) with the Columbus module. The Columbus module is a laboratory module for scientific and medical experiments that are used to investigate various issues such as the behaviour of biological reactions or the organism in prolonged weightlessness. How does the organism behave in prolonged weightlessness?

Airbus Defence and Space

Airbus Defence and Space is part of the Airbus Group and Europe's leading defence and space company. Together with DLR, Airbus Defence and Space operates parts of the IT infrastructure of the Columbus module on the International Space Station (ISS) for the European Space Agency (ESA). The IT infrastructure consists of a ground segment and a flight segment.

Internet connection to the ISS

Communication with the computer systems on the International Space Station (ISS) takes place via an encrypted internet connection. The special thing about this connection is space, as it is interrupted for minutes every hour. During this time, the ISS is in orbit outside the range of the internet connection.

Project outline

Distinguishing authorised access from anomalies

Airbus Defence and Space has been commissioned by the European Space Agency to implement a security incident and event management system as part of the operation of the International Space Station. The aim is to monitor the IT infrastructure of the Columbus module of the International Space Station (ISS) and the associated ground segment, which is accessed by various national space agencies, user operations support centres and European partners throughout Europe. The responsible programme of Airbus Defence and Space has entrusted ConSecur GmbH with the design and implementation of such a SIEM system for the ISS programme.

Markus Brachmann, the responsible project manager at Airbus Space and
Defence Space, feels that the results of the project have confirmed his assessment.

"One of ConSecur's great strengths is the development and operation of SIEM systems."
