Fireside Chat: The Dark Tangent and National Cyber Director Harry Coker, Jr.
National Cyber Director Harry Coker and Jeff Moss discuss space system resilience, national workforce initiatives, and federal policy.
Summary
Securing Commercial and Federal Space Assets
The world increasingly appreciates how much we rely on space systems for our personal, economic, and national security needs. However, the nation-state cyber threat to government and commercial systems continues to grow at a time when the current landscape of cybersecurity policies and frameworks aren’t readily applicable for space systems.
National Cyber Workforce Strategy
In this fireside chat, ONCD will have the opportunity to introduce our 2nd National Cyber Director to the research community and discuss some of his priorities, such as space cybersecurity. We will discuss how the White House has been working to tackle hard problems and challenges. In the instance of space cybersecurity, ONCD has been collaborating with federal space operators and the space industry to develop policy solutions, including by answering a tasking from the Vice President to develop minimum cybersecurity requirements for U.S. space systems.
