Employ the following actions to validate that policies are established and implemented controls are operating in a consistent manner: [Assignment: organization-defined actions].
In a space context, correlation among different monitoring activities can be vital to spotting subtle anomalies across the spacecraft bus, payloads, and ground links. For example, if the on-board intrusion detection system detects repeated unauthorized command attempts. At the same time, telemetry shows unusual power consumption in a payload; this combined view can help ground operators act decisively. Automating these correlations, pulling data from both spacecraft logs and ground-segment security events, helps reveal patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. By integrating separate metrics into a common analysis framework, mission teams more rapidly differentiate normal mission evolution from adversarial behaviors or accidental faults.
Maintaining ongoing awareness of information security, vulnerabilities, and threats to support organizational risk management decisions.
