Securing the Final Frontier: Addressing Cyber Threats to Space Systems

As humanity advances into the space age, the threat landscape for satellites has evolved significantly, with cyber vulnerabilities becoming a major concern. This panel will examine the increasing risks posed by cyber-attacks on space systems, stemming from the rapid digitalization of satellites and the military value of space assets. Experts will discuss three critical vulnerabilities: the lack of effective cyber threat detection capabilities, insufficient collaboration in threat information sharing, and the need for secure-by-design attributes throughout the cyber supply chain.

Panelists will also explore the intersection of cybersecurity and organizational change management, emphasizing the importance of embedding a security-first mindset within the aerospace and defense culture. Attendees will gain insights into best practices for mitigating cyber risks and ensuring robust defenses against evolving threats. By fostering collaboration across sectors and enhancing cybersecurity frameworks, the space industry can better protect itself in an increasingly contested environment. Join us for an in-depth discussion on securing our shared space assets.
