Leading cyber resiliency company successfully sends, receives secure ops traffic using Axiom Space-provided AWS Snowcone

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — SpiderOak, a leader in zero-trust cybersecurity and resiliency software for space systems, today announced the successful deployment and demonstration of its OrbitSecure technology aboard the International Space Station . This milestone, achieved using Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) Snowcone edge computing device provided by Axiom Space, completes the next critical step in SpiderOak’s plan to demonstrate increasingly complex orbital flight demonstrations.

On July 31, 2023 in cooperation with Axiom Space and AWS, SpiderOak’s OrbitSecure software was uploaded to the space station. The system successfully demonstrated sending and receiving secure ops traffic between ground and low-Earth orbit. Communication to the space station was handled via the Tracking and Data Relay System (TDRS).

This successful demonstration positions SpiderOak as a critical enabler for the burgeoning new space economy, which heavily relies on the secure transfer of data and mixed workloads across hybrid platforms in space.
