Episode notes
Solar Storms Threaten Infrastructure
- Solar storms have magnetic fields capable of disrupting critical technologies like the internet and power grids.
- These space weather events can cause significant vulnerabilities that adversaries are keen to exploit.
CMEs Mimic Cyberattack Effects
- Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) cause auroras but also geomagnetic storms that disrupt power grids and satellites.
- These storm effects mimic cyberattack tactics, like messing with satellites and critical infrastructure.
Use Space ISAC Neighborhood Watch
- When solar storms occur, share data swiftly with other space sector members through the Space Eye ISAC.
- Early alerts and communication help everyone understand impacts and protect their assets better.
