The Role of Cybersecurity in Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System GIS

As a result of the importance of remote sensing and GIS data in various sectors of the country today, and taking into cognizance the sensitive nature of some of these data as well as the rising cases of cyber threats in the recent times, the role of cybersecurity in Remote sensing and GIS cannot be overemphasized. The aim of this research work was to study the role of Cybersecurity in Remote Sensing and GIS. The research made use of secondary data which includes but not limited to published research works, videos and library materials, while it adopted explanatory and descriptive research methods. The results showed that cybersecurity when integrated with Remote Sensing and GIS will help in the protection of the satellite or spatial images against cyberattacks, ensures the data reliability and availability, as well as maintain data integrity and confidentiality. In addition, it was observed from the results that cybersecurity can be integrated with GIS and Remote sensing in order to achieve the above goals through data encryption, implementation of user authentication and authorization protocols, Incident Response Planning application, access control method, and others. From the results, it was concluded that Cybersecurity plays an important role in Remote sensing and GIS. It was recommended that the scope of the research should be increased to the general Space Science and Technology instead of a branch of it which is Remote Sensing and GIS studied in this work. In addition, it was also recommended that the role of Remote sensing and GIS in cybersecurity should also be carried out in future work.
