Aerospace Gateway Earth Station Web Pentesting Case Study

A leading aerospace enterprise operating Gateway Earth Station and Ground Station infrastructure for satellite streaming engaged Forenzy for comprehensive web application penetration testing. The engagement targeted mission-facing web consoles, operator dashboards, and API endpoints that manage high-volume telemetry and streaming traffic.

Forenzy’s assessment identified critical OWASP-class vulnerabilities — including authentication bypass paths and insecure API exposure — that could have disrupted streaming operations or leaked sensitive telemetry data. We delivered prioritized remediation guidance and worked alongside the client’s engineering team under a 24-hour SLA to validate every patch before production release.

During a subsequent peak streaming window, the hardened platform securely handled more than 100 million requests in 24 hours with no successful attack or service disruption — giving leadership evidence that critical flaws were closed before they could be exploited.
