The Scottish Space Network announces its latest partnership with Glasgow based ID Cyber Solutions, further solidifying Scotland’s reputation as a leader in space innovation.

Cybersecurity is critical in the space sector because space systems, including satellites and communication networks, are increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. A successful breach could disrupt essential services such as navigation, military operations, and communications, potentially causing severe national security and economic issues. Strengthening cybersecurity is essential to safeguard these vital assets and maintain the smooth operation of global space activities.
As part of this collaboration, Scottish Space Network will engage with the sector to assist in the development a space-specific certification packages that will include cyber security training, cyber incident handling, vulnerability assessments and Cyber Essentials, uniquely tailored for the space industry. The partnership will also see the organisation of a roundtable event with key decision-makers in the Scottish space sector, further strengthening the ties between cybersecurity and space technology.
Dr Andy Campbell, Founder and CEO of the Scottish Space Network, stated: “This partnership with ID Cyber Solutions marks a significant step forward for our network, aligning cybersecurity at the heart of Scotland’s growing space ecosystem. Their world class expertise will enable us to offer unparalleled security education and solutions to the sector while advancing innovation and resilience.”

Alongside Sustainable Alpha’s investment focus, these partnerships underscore the Network’s dedication to building a comprehensive support network for the Scottish space sector, driving innovation and security in tandem.
