From the Era between 2018 to 2019, the cyber incident in NASA has increased by nearly about 366% and there is rapid growth in the cyber attack the report came from federal agencies, Atlas VPN.
When the whole incident is associated then it is a warning that the improper usage and deployment of careless methods. The issues which become random attacks in NASA will securely affect the intellectual property, individuals as well as the national security data that might be loose by the data breaches.
According to the report which mentioned the Office of Management (OMB), which is currently increasing its security system which causes vulnerability.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) also reported that there was a whole of 1,468 cyber conflicts that was recorded at NASA in the year 2019 which OMB also evaluates the government companies as well on a yearly basis.
The same office is also reliable for producing and managing the implementation of strategies, guidelines, and rules on cybersecurity in federal agencies. These conflicts that there are also some conflicts that were reported like email attacks.
Email attacks are one of the most common conflicts which occur in public companies but there are only a few cases of email attackers in NASA that were reported with and the actual case of that type of conflict is improper usages of the service.
The previous year, NASA reinforced the Jet propulsion laboratory which has been hacked after someone at NASA which unauthorized Raspberry Pi to JPL servers. Due to the unauthorized connection leads the hackers to pass from the JPL server to NASA’s deep space network array of the telescopes.
All the attacks and the security incidents have affected the security budgets of NASA which can be handled by the Department of Defense (DOD) which sustained nearly 50% of the federal cybersecurity funds in 2019 which is about $8.5 billion.
Due to heavy attacks the IT structure department which was planned in budget and this time it was $479 million and that was the extra budget if you compare the budget of 2019 with 2018 which was mentioned in the report in 2019.
As per report the agencies re-planning for the development of the departments like technologies diversity, geographical decentralization of the government network that was the leading security. You can’t deny also that the rapid growth of the cyber-attacks which are damaging the public agencies and creating every possible challenge which becomes difficult to fulfill due to the budgets.
As per watching the increase in the rate of the incident of the cyber attack in NASA may put a negative impact and there will be a decrease in budgets that may affect also. Cyber-attacks may hit for 12% to 23% and that was the alarming point for all.
The agencies are still running on old code which is an outdated language and the system required the extra funds to maintain it yearly.NASA should focus on managing the department which leads to a decrease in cyber attacks.
