Empower Your Organization Against Evolving Threats. In today’s landscape, the significance of cybersecurity has surged to unprecedented heights. In 2022, we witnessed a series of disruptive events such as jamming, GPS spoofing, and a barrage of cyberattacks targeting Viasat internet services in Ukraine – coinciding with Russia’s invasion. These incidents serve as a stark reminder that the realm of cyber threats has reached new levels of complexity.
The arsenal of cyber criminals is growing in sophistication, and their attack techniques are diversifying. To safeguard your organization’s integrity and continuity, proactive planning is imperative. As these digital adversaries continuously evolve, so must your defensive strategies.
The CyberSatGov Advisory Board, composed of top cybersecurity experts, has meticulously curated a comprehensive agenda for a Classified Day and an Unclassified Program. This agenda delves into vulnerabilities within the satellite ecosystem and includes content and speakers aimed at aiding you in devising solutions to safeguard your assets.
Hosted by
The Classified Program sets CyberSatGov apart. Elevate your organization’s security posture with knowledge reserved for a select few. Nowhere else will you find more government and military participants working to identify threat vectors and formulate solutions to thwart next-generation attacks. The DoD, intelligence community, cybersecurity professionals, and satellite industry leaders will come together on Wed., November 8, to discuss advancements and challenges in ensuring the success of space system missions amidst the relentless expansion of the cyber-contested lifecycle.
Attendees of this year’s Classified Day program can expect to hear from the U.S. Space Force, National Reconnaissance Office, Space Systems Command, Space Development Agency, Sandia National Laboratories, National Space Intelligence Center, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Space Dynamics Laboratory, and Viasat!
Please note: To register for CyberSatGov’s Classified Day Program, you must possess a valid TS/SCI Clearance.
CyberSatGov is the only satellite security event in the world that successfully fuses satellite, space, cyber, and government to educate on threat vectors and deliver solutions to thwart next-generation attacks. By uniting the satellite community with the government and military sectors, we cultivate an all-encompassing dialogue on cybersecurity.
It is clear that as a more volatile geopolitical environment emerges, space will become more contested as countries like China and Russia work to solidify their presence in this domain. The Government will need to rely more on the commercial satellite industry than it had previously. Moreover, it's apparent that space assets will be under greater scrutiny as potential targets. In this opening panel, we look at the ‘commercial first’ mantra and how the U.S. Government and its allies can take advantage of the latest in commercial satellite tech.
With cloud applications at the heart of every digital business and AI-led development set to accelerate innovation, organizations require an intelligent code-to-cloud approach to security that's intuitive for users and highly effective at reducing risk and preventing breaches.Attend this session and discover how Prisma® Cloud is helping organizations prioritize and fix critical application risks at the source, in a matter of minutes.
Attacks are being ramped up. The way to respond to threats is changing. A proactive approach is now needed. One of the main trends we are seeing right now is ‘threat hunting’ – proactively seeking out the weaknesses and vulnerabilities in your network. So, what is threat hunting? Should you do it? And what kind of difference could it make? In this panel, cyber experts share why embracing threat hunting sooner, rather than later, is essential.
Late last year, the U.S. Department of Defense released the Department of Defense Zero Trust Strategy and Roadmap, a major new framework which sees a shift from perimeter-based defenses to a proactive model that embeds security throughout the network. This was a major piece of legislation that directly impacts satellite companies that work with government. Here, we assess the first 12 months of the framework and the difference it has made to the relationships between commercial and government.
The fragile geopolitical situation means the dynamics between the government and commercial space industry are changing. There is a need for hosted payloads and commercial services to be integrated with government owned and operated space systems, including ground and launch system infrastructure. Ensuring cybersecurity in this network of networks is no longer as simple as attaching more hardware encryptors. For an organization like the U.S. Space Force, there is an opportunity to leverage state of the art off-the-shelf small satellites to gain operational resilience against near peer competitors. In this panel, we talk about the government approach to end-to-end security in modern space architectures.
The cyber world moves at a fast pace. AI is becoming more of a game changer. In the last year, we have seen the growing influence of ChatGPT, as the AI influence grows stronger. There is no doubt this is the year where AI becomes more mainstream, capabilities are advancing. Here, we look at how AI is impacting the security of satellite networks.
Taiwan makes for an interesting case study in cyber. Like Ukraine, it is faced with a situation where China has made its long-term ambitions clear. In this session, we look at Taiwan’s response in terms of facing down the cyber threat, and how this could impact overall space security. Risk management experts will talk about what might happen here, and whether like Ukraine, space might become front and center of China’s ambitions.
Some big government procurements will likely happen in 2023. We could see some significant advances in terms of Satellite-as-a-Service, as the U.S. Government looks to change the way it buys satellite communications services going forward. With the U.S. Government potentially going down this route, we explore the trends we might see in 2024, and discuss what is the next step in the evolution of the relationship between the commercial satellite industry and the U.S. Government.
