CIN The Pulse: Managing critical space cybersecurity: Guarding against the failure of imagination

[Stephen Schneiter]

Hello CINners! I am super stoked, this is going to be a great one, so mark your calendars now!
Join with us as we talk with @James Stanger and Renee Wynn, former CIO of NASA. Renee will share stories about the steps she took to instill a cybersecurity culture in NASA. We'll discuss concepts such as the different mindsets that Operational Technology and Information Technology workers have, as well as implementing secure by design principles.

Ever wonder how cybersecurity is managed in satellite and GPS systems? Do you know why NASA technicians especially worry about lateral movement during a cybersecurity incidents involving satellites? Ever think about the ramifications of successful cybersecurity attacks on critical space infrastructure? Then join in on the discussion to learn more.

Discussion points will include:

• The technologies, services, and platforms that Renee's teams protected at NASA.
• Renee's efforts to instill cybersecurity into engineer, Operational Technology, and scientific mindsets.
• The ramifications of cybersecurity failures in critical systems, from satellites to GPS.
• Managing differing priorities, including availability and innovation versus cybersecurity when working with both legacy and cutting-edge space technologies.
• How "failure of imagination" remains the cybersecurity industry's biggest problem.
