AI-assisted tool helped secure satellite communication system after 2022 Russian hacking
Argo uses artificial intelligence and mathematics to analyze software and internet-connected systems, as officials warn of Russian and Iranian threats to critical infrastructure.
Russia disabled thousands of satellite modems across Ukraine and other European countries on the day it invaded Ukraine in 2022, aiming to disrupt communications.
The cybersecurity company Atalanta released Argo, which includes technology that helped secure Viasat's satellite communications network after the Russian hacking attack.
Atalanta's technology uses 'software understanding,' a combination of complex mathematics and artificial intelligence to comprehensively analyze software and internet-connected systems for vulnerabilities.
Viasat's chief of cyber strategy stated that the technology hardens their network against future attacks with mathematical backing.
