"Cybercriminals will stop at nothing to disrupt American lives and livelihoods, and an attack on commercial satellites could have devastating implications. That's why we must ensure companies that operate commercial satellites have the proper resources to prevent disruptive cyber-attacks," said Senator Peters. "My bipartisan bill will help ensure that commercial satellite owners and operators have the necessary tools and resources to protect their networks."

"Satellite networks play an important role in our national security, and it's imperative they're protected from cyber threats and bad actors," said Senator Cornyn. "This bill would equip satellite owners and operators with the tools to secure their systems against disruption, and I urge the Senate to pass it soon."
