CISA and the FBI said today they're aware of "Possible threats" to satellite communication networks in the US and worldwide.
Today's security advisory also warned US critical infrastructure organizations of risks to SATCOM providers' customers following network breaches.
"Successful intrusions into SATCOM networks could create risk in SATCOM network providers' customer environments," CISA and the FBI said.
"CISA and FBI strongly encourages critical infrastructure organizations and other organizations that are either SATCOM network providers or customers to review and implement the mitigations outlined in this CSA to strengthen SATCOM network cybersecurity."
Implement encryption across all communications links leased from, or provided by, your SATCOM provider.
Today's warning comes after the KA-SAT network of US satellite communications provider Viasat - "Used intensively by the Ukrainian military" - was affected by a cyberattack that led to satellite service outages in Central and Eastern Europe after.
