Russia’s 2022 attack on Viasat showed how satellite communications can be disrupted at scale, and Atalanta’s new AI-assisted Argo platform is designed to help prove and improve resilience against similar threats. The technology is also being applied to critical infrastructure and government projects as concerns grow over Russian and Iranian activity targeting essential systems. #Viasat #Argo #Atalanta #DARPA #GenesisMission #IranianHackers
Keypoints
- Russia disabled thousands of satellite modems during its 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
- Atalanta released Argo to test software and system resilience against emerging attacks.
- The platform uses AI and mathematics to improve vulnerability analysis.
- Viasat is using the technology to harden its satellite communications network.
- The technology is also being applied to critical infrastructure and the Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission.
