The Satellite Cybersecurity Act of 2025 would direct federal agencies to strengthen protections for commercial satellite systems. If enacted, the bill would require the Department of Commerce to establish a publicly accessible online clearinghouse providing cybersecurity resources and recommendations for satellite operators, with special assistance for small businesses. The Commerce Department, working with the Department of Homeland Security, would consolidate voluntary cybersecurity guidelines covering areas such as risk management and secure engineering practices.
The bill would also task multiple federal agencies with developing a comprehensive strategy for improving satellite cybersecurity within 120 days of enactment. Additionally, the Government Accountability Office would conduct a study examining the effectiveness of current federal efforts to support commercial satellite cybersecurity and identify gaps in protection. The bill is currently under committee consideration in the Senate and has not yet been voted on by the full chamber.
