  Satellite internet networks have emerged as indispensable components of the
modern digital landscape, promising to extend connectivity to even the most
remote corners of the globe. Among these networks, Starlink, pioneered by
SpaceX, has garnered significant attention for its ambitious mission to provide
high-speed internet access on a global scale. However, the proliferation of
satellite infrastructure also brings to the forefront a myriad of cybersecurity
challenges, as these networks become increasingly vital for critical
communication and data exchange. This research endeavours to conduct a
comprehensive analysis of the cybersecurity landscape surrounding Starlink,
with a focus on identifying potential threats, assessing associated risks, and
proposing mitigation strategies to bolster the resilience of the network.
Through an exploration of existing literature, an examination of the system
architecture of Starlink, and an analysis of the current cyber threat landscape
facing satellite internet networks, this study aims to provide valuable
insights into the cybersecurity challenges inherent in the operation of global
satellite internet infrastructure. By prioritizing risks and proposing
effective mitigation strategies, this research seeks to contribute to the
ongoing efforts to safeguard the integrity and accessibility of satellite-based
internet connectivity.
