RSAC TV: Hacking in Space

Masseh Tahiry, Risk Strategist, Toffler Associates

This video highlights the convergence of space-based infrastructure with that of earth-based infrastructure and our reliance on space assets for military operations, weather forecasting, financial transactions and precision agriculture.

With the evolution of space assets, security is still an afterthought and space systems are easily exploitable. What is the real impact if satellites were hacked?

Learning Objectives:

1. Highlight space and earth infrastructure dependencies.
2. Provide an overview of the state of security for space assets.
3. Share scenarios of what can happen if a space asset was maliciously exploited.
