What you'll learn

Jacob Oakley's talk is not about the fantasy of being stranded on another planet but about the reality of cybersecurity for space systems. It won’t be an astronaut on Mars that will be commandeering your space system, it will be maliciously motivated, state sponsored hackers here on Earth. The focus of this presentation is to demonstrate how the rapid evolution of space technologies has created a potentially precarious position with regard to cybersecurity and the exploitability of small satellites and other space systems.
