Cybersecurity’s Dual Mission and the “New Normal:” Addressing Post-COVID-19 Cybersecurity Needs
Many organizations rapidly — and successfully — transitioned to remote work environments. From a cybersecurity standpoint, teams have stayed on course in keeping the enterprise safe while enabling continued operations. For cybersecurity teams, a path to the “new normal” requires doubling down on security gaps exacerbated during the crisis, then fortifying the gains made in the technological shift. In the long run, organizations need to reimagine their cybersecurity function and build security capabilities that preserve and create future value for the business.

NewSpace Influencers Discuss Cyber
“NewSpace” doesn’t mean immune to “old” problems.  In fact, many argue that startups are more susceptible to cyber attacks and not as in-tune with how to stop a threat before it becomes a full-blown attack.  NewSpace influencers gather to share their approach to cybersecurity.

Software Bill of Materials – Transparency in the Software Supply Chain
The software that the entire world depends on has emerged as a primary risk in the supply chain, whether from active attempts to compromise key components, or ordinary vulnerabilities buried deep in our systems. Addressing software supply chain risk will require more transparency across the ecosystem, through the adoption of a “software bill of materials” (SBOM). This presentation will offer a brief overview of the concept of an SBOM, and the progress being made by an open, cross-sector, and international initiative convened by NTIA in the US Department of Commerce. We will review lessons learned, remaining challenges, and expected progress. We will also touch on the path to adoption, including market forces and the ongoing role of governments and regulators.

Keynote Speaker:

• Dr. Allan Friedman, Director of Cybersecurity Initiatives, National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA)

Software Defined Satellites: The Revolution is Now, and so is the Threat
Satellites are constantly changing. More software than ever before is being used as satellites need to be more flexible to adjust to market needs. Satellite innovation is fueling a revolution, and the technology is making an impact on the world, but increased software means increased potential for an attack.  How do we continue to drive positive impact through software defined satellite and maintain security?
