The malware Pegasus, developed by Israeli cyber-intelligence firm NSO Group, has made international headlines and provoked political debate. Do you know what this very complex program's hardware looks like? Alternatively, how much room would a Pegasus customer require to set up an office in order to run the programme? Is it necessary to have a control room and a customer service hotline that is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week? How much does it cost?

How does the dashboard appear? Is there any kind of guarantee? Here are the answers to some of the most basic, yet crucial, concerns regarding this enigmatic surveillance operation.


A Pegasus system would generally require 25 square metres of server space and 100 square metres of the operator area. A typical server room should have enough space for at least two 42U rack cabinets (a basic server rack cage), as well as other devices. It is not possible for a Pegasus client to run the programme only using NSO Group software without first establishing a local office.


Servers, displays, routers, UPS systems, CPUs, keyboards, cables, and other hardware components make up the Pegasus system. Leaked communications between a comparable Italian cyber-intelligence outfit and a Mexico-based private firm revealed a variant of the Pegasus technology. The system's concept has been around for a while, but it was only recently revealed when it was discovered in a leaked email from an Italian business.



At least two Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) lines from two separate Internet service Providers (ISPs) and eight static external internet protocol addresses are required for a government-run Pegasus operating room. The Pegasus client must additionally verify that the area has a steady cellular network with a signal level of at least -95 decibels. A cell tower is supposed to be nearby in a typical Pegasus operating centre.


A Pegasus customer must supply a credit card, a copy of an individual's passport, and a utility bill that does not belong to the company that purchased the programme. The conditions listed above must be satisfied at least two weeks before the Pegasus system's installation. Is a Pegasus client now ready to utilise the software after ensuring that everything described above is in place?


The Pegasus security system was developed by NSO Group, which has been operating in israel for over a decade. The NSO Group provides technical training to its clients' technical personnel so that they may operate local operations and do minor maintenance. The implementation of the Pegasus system as a whole might take up to 15 weeks. The end-user receives approval from the israel Ministry of Defense (IMOD) in the first week, as part of the acceptance test process (ATP) and due diligence procedure. This is followed by system testing and hardware installation. Following that, the device porting procedure begins, followed by system training. The Pegasus system is available to use after that process is completed and the entire licencing price has been paid.
It is signed between two front businesses on behalf of both parties to reduce the risk of exposure, but the contract names the government agency as the ultimate user. It prevents the end-user from changing, as well as the transfer of services and technology to a third party. With its own Network Operations Centre (NOC), the firm provides help 24 hours a day, seven days a week to fix any issues that its clients may have. Its warranty does not cover third-party hardware placed in the system, and it becomes void if the system is modified locally or mishandled.
