Agenda

Cybersecurity is more relevant than ever. In 2022, we saw incidents of jamming, GPS spoofing, and other cyberattacks launched against Viasat internet services in Ukraine – coinciding with Russia’s invasion. There is little doubt that the sophistication level of cyber criminals and their attack vectors has increased; you need to plan and prepare your organization against such threats. The CyberSatGov Advisory Board, comprised of leading cybersecurity experts, works diligently to develop an agenda for both a Classified Day and an Unclassified Program that focuses on the vulnerable aspects of the satellite ecosystem and features content and speakers that can help you formulate solutions to protect your assets.

CLASSIFIED DAY

Hosted by

Wednesday, November 8 (Separate ticket required)

The Classified Program sets CyberSatGov apart – 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 discuss advancements and challenges in assuring space system missions throughout the ever-increasing cyber-contested lifecycle.

Please note: To register for CyberSatGov’s Classified Day Program, you must possess a valid TS/SCI Clearance.

UNCLASSIFIED PROGRAM

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. We’re bringing the satellite community together with the government and military markets to have a comprehensive discussion about cybersecurity.

🕒 8:30 AM – 9:00 AM	BREAKFAST | Sponsored by
🕒 9:00 AM – 9:30 AM	OPENING KEYNOTE PRESENTATION
🕒 9:30 AM – 10:15 AM	COMMERCIAL FIRST: THE INDUSTRY RESPONDS TO CHANGING DEMANDS It is clear that as a more volatile geopolitical environment emerges, space will become more contested as countries like China and Russia look to establish strong positions in space. The Government will need to rely more on the commercial satellite industry than it had previously and it is clear that space assets will be targeted more. 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.
🕒 10:15 AM – 10:45 AM	NETWORKING BREAK
🕒 10:45 AM – 11:15 AM	MORNING KEYNOTE PRESENTATION
🕒 11:15 AM – 12:00 PM	THREAT HUNTING: SEARCHING FOR THE THREAT BEFORE IT FINDS YOU Attacks are being ramped up. The way to respond to threats is changing. A pro-active approach is now needed. One of the main trends we are seeing right now is ‘threat hunting’ and going looking for the weaknesses and vulnerabilities in your network. So, what is threat hunting? Should you do it? And what kind of difference could it make? Cyber experts talk about why you should be threat hunting sooner rather than later.
🕒 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM	LUNCH AND KEYNOTE PRESENTATION | Sponsored by
🕒 1:30 PM – 2:00 PM	DESSERT BREAK WITH EXHIBITORS
🕒 2:00 PM – 2:45 PM	ZERO TRUST FRAMEWORK: PROGRESS AND EVOLUTION 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 the government. Here, we assess the first 12 months of the framework and the difference it has made to the relationships between commercial and government.
🕒 2:45 PM – 3:30 PM	DIGITAL AND VIRTUAL TWINS: THEIR PLACE IN THE SATELLITE WORLD The use of digital and virtual twins is something we might see more of in the satellite arena, as companies look to implement these more in operations and the manufacture of satellites. This panel looks at how their creation could lead to a more secure environment going forward and how companies and government agencies could use them going forward.
🕒 3:30 PM – 4:00 PM	NETWORKING BREAK
🕒 4:00 PM – 4:30 PM	INDIVIDUAL VIEWPOINT
🕒 4:30 PM – 5:15 PM	END OF DAY PANEL: ASSESSING THE TALKING POINTS OF DAY ONE With a number of keynotes and panels on day one, we bring back a number of key speakers to talk about some of the major talking points from the keynotes and assess the key findings, and what were the major talking points.

🕒 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM	AI CAPABILITIES IN CYBER: THE LATEST GAME CHANGER? 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.

🕒 11:00 AM – 11:30 AM	INDIVIDUAL VIEWPOINT
🕒 11:30 AM – 12:15 PM	TAIWAN: A NEW FRONTIER IN THE CYBER BATTLEFIELD 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. We look at Taiwan’s response in terms of facing down the cyber threat, and how this could impact overall space security. We get experts from this area to talk about what might happen here, and whether like Ukraine, space might become front and center of China’s ambitions.

We could see some significant advances in terms of Satellite-as-a-Service, as the US Government looks to change the way it buys satellite communications services going forward. With the US government potentially going down this route, we explore the trends we might see in 2024, and what is the next step in the evolution of the relationship between the commercial satellite industry and the US government.
