  • •EUSPA is enhancing security for the Galileo GNSS amid rising cyber threats.
  • •Jamming and spoofing incidents are increasing, especially near conflict zones.
  • •The Public Regulated Service (PRS) provides resilience against malicious interference.

EUSPA is actively working to protect the European Union's space services, particularly the Galileo satellite system, from evolving cyber threats. The reliance on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) like Galileo has made them attractive targets for malicious actors, with incidents of jamming and spoofing increasing, especially near conflict zones. EUSPA has implemented measures such as advanced encryption protocols and access controls to enhance security. The Galileo Security Monitoring Centre (GSMC) operates continuously to monitor and respond to security threats. The Public Regulated Service (PRS) offers encrypted services to authorized users, ensuring continuity and robustness against spoofing and jamming. Recent advancements include the Open Service Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA), which allows users to verify the authenticity of GNSS data. New threats, including potential laser attacks on satellites, are also being monitored.
