Space Collective Defense Tooling
2025: Expanding Space Collective Defense 🚀
This year marks a major milestone as we bring our Space Collective Defense frameworks, research, and tools to the wider community. After years of development, refinement, and behind-the-scenes work, we are now launching these critical solutions throughout Q1 and Q2 of 2025.
💡 Our mission is to enhance space security and resilience—now it's time to share these advancements with the world.
LABS
Learn, Apply, Build, Simulate
Collective Development
The ethicallyHackingspace (eHs)® Learn Apply Build Simulate (LABS) framework embodies a comprehensive approach to advancing skills and knowledge in the Space, Cybersecurity, Operations, and Resilience (SCOR)™ domains. Our research team is leveraging generative artificial intelligence to curate and align work roles, knowledge statements, skill statements, ability statements, and task statements from key standards and frameworks, including CCSDS, NIST, ECSS, NASA, ESA, and others. This dynamic synthesis ensures alignment with both industry and mission-critical needs. Beginning in 2025, the results of this initiative will be published quarterly, offering community members cutting-edge insights and resources to drive innovation and operational excellence within the eHs® ecosystem.
SUV
Space Universal Visualization
Collective Research
The ethicallyHackingspace (eHs)® Space Universal Visualization (SUV)™ framework is a global lexicon designed to standardize and enhance visualization across the space domain. Built from the ongoing curation of existing space references and enriched with the assistance of AI-powered "diagrams as code," SUV™ aims to create a cohesive, accessible visualization framework. This dynamic initiative leverages generative AI to integrate key insights from authoritative sources, ensuring relevance and precision. Starting in 2025, the SUV™ framework will be updated and released quarterly, providing the community with progressive insights and tools to foster global collaboration and innovation in the space industry.
SITH
Space Interactive Threat Hub
Collective Response
The ethicallyHackingspace (eHs)® Space Interactive Threat Hub (SITH)™ leverages generative AI and expert curation to produce primary intelligence requirements, detection engineering content, and threat intelligence telemetry solutions. CCSDS, NASA, ESA, NIST, and ECSS reference are also used as a basis for this content. Beginning in 2025, the SITH® framework will release its updates on a quarterly basis, offering the community a robust toolkit to address evolving challenges and enhance resilience in the increasingly complex space threat environment.
SCOR Tooling
2025: Advancing SCOR Tooling Deployment 🚀
In 2025, we are excited to introduce our SCOR (Space, Cybersecurity, Operations, and Resilience) Incident Response Operations tools to the broader community. After extensive development and refinement, these solutions are set to launch in Q1 and Q2 of this year. Our goal is to empower organizations with streamlined tools to navigate the dynamic challenges of space and cybersecurity operations.
CTEM
Continuous Threat Exposure Management
Threat Management
Our SCOR Continuous Threat and Exposure Management (CTEM) research builds on the foundational pillars of space collective defense: collective development, collective research, and collective response. This approach fosters a collaborative ecosystem where organizations and researchers unite to strengthen space cybersecurity resilience. CTEM emphasizes simplifying and streamlining the convergence of legacy processes—such as vulnerability management and configuration management—into a cutting-edge, prioritized exposure management strategy. By focusing on actionable, risk-informed practices, CTEM empowers stakeholders to address critical exposures more effectively, reducing complexity while enhancing defense readiness in the rapidly evolving threat landscape. This framework reflects a commitment to innovation and shared knowledge, ensuring that the space community remains agile and prepared for emerging challenges.
S3C
Secure Solution Supply Chain
Resilience Engineering
Our SCOR Secure Solution Supply Chain (S3C) research addresses the critical challenge of resilience engineering in the space domain. By focusing on bridging the gap with Space Application Security Posture Management (SASPM)—a complex and significant undertaking—this research aims to strengthen defenses across the supply chain. S3C research examines the hardware, firmware, software, signals, and data that adversaries can exploit in their campaigns, while also exploring non-adversarial issues that can lead to suboptimal failure modes. This effort builds on the foundational pillars of space collective defense: collective development, collective research, and collective response. By leveraging these principles, the research team validates realistic SCOR-S3C work packages, ensuring actionable, operationally relevant outcomes. Through this approach, S3C not only enhances resilience against adversarial threats but also addresses systemic vulnerabilities and operational inefficiencies, contributing to the overall security and stability of the space ecosystem.
IRO
Incident Response Operations
Breach Management
Our SCOR Incident Response Operations research focuses on operationalizing the products generated by our Space Interactive Threat Hub (SITH)™. This effort is uniquely challenging due to the complexity of space platforms, the diverse nature of organizations, and the convergence of hybrid commercial and government solutions. To address these challenges, our research aims to develop modular "bundles" of resources—including primary intelligence requirements, detection engineering content, and threat telemetry instrumentation packages—that can be rapidly applied across various environments. This initiative builds on the foundational principles of space collective defense, leveraging collective development, collective research, and collective response to foster resilience and agility. With a strong emphasis on community-level information exchange, our approach ensures that actionable insights and resources are shared broadly, enabling faster incident response and more effective threat mitigation. By streamlining these critical operations, SCOR Incident Response Operations seeks to empower organizations with the tools they need to navigate the dynamic and interconnected landscape of space security.
