DATA PRIVACY AND SATELLITES LEAKING GLOBAL DATA

Описание: 🎙️ In this video, Debbie Reynolds, “The Data Diva”, examines a striking new study revealing how satellites are leaking massive amounts of unencrypted global data and what this means for organizations worldwide.
🔎 What researchers discovered:
📌 Researchers from UC Berkeley and the University of Maryland intercepted satellite traffic using an $800 dish.
📌 They sampled roughly 15 percent of geostationary satellite communications.
📌 They captured airline Wi Fi traffic, private corporate data, industrial information, military and law enforcement signals, and even personal text messages.
📌 Many transmissions were not encrypted, making interception trivial.
☁️ Why this matters for every organization:
📌 Assumptions about secure transmission do not always hold, especially for satellite traffic.
📌 Legacy systems often send sensitive data without encryption.
📌 Companies may not know that third party services they rely on communicate via satellite.
📌 Space based transmissions operate under fragmented or weak privacy regulations.
💡 Key takeaways for leaders:
✅ Encryption must be enforced end to end, including satellite links.
✅ Supply chain data mapping must include transmission paths.
✅ If an $800 dish can capture global corporate and personal traffic, threat actors can too.
✅ Organizations must pressure vendors to secure transmission methods.
⚠️ The bigger lesson:
The boundary between Earth and space does not protect your data. Only strong encryption does.
🔐 Executives and data leaders, how are you validating that all your transmitted data, including satellite routed traffic, is encrypted?
