CyberLEO | Agenda

Our mission is to bring you discussions, updates, briefings, and lessons learned stemming from real-world experiences that will make a positive impact on your cybersecurity strategy. That’s why we work closely with our Advisory Board to build a program that you can feel confident in. With multiple constellations being launched, we could see tens of thousands of satellites entering LEO. CyberLEO will become the epicenter of discussion surrounding security issues in a LEO world.

UNCLASSIFIED PROGRAM

In an increasingly digital world, cyber-attacks on satellites face the possibility of becoming a more common occurrence. With an estimated 100,000 small satellites in orbit by 2030, industry experts fear a single attack could cripple critical infrastructure if cybersecurity isn’t a priority now. 

CyberLEO’s Unclassified Program will bring you discussions, updates, briefings, and lessons learned stemming from real-world experiences that will make an immediate impact on your cybersecurity strategy, and brings together industry and government leaders to discuss open source software vulnerabilities, network segmentation, ransomware, end-to-end product security, data provenance and more.

9:30 am - 10:00 am

Traditional trust architectures prevent us from fully realizing the potential of the rapidly growing space domain. Instead of monolithic systems performing single functions, the future space domain will be comprised of heterogenous systems of satellites and services from both commercial and government that will need to work together. In this talk, we’ll discuss possibilities for novel trust architectures to enable this new paradigm and how government can better work with commercial to achieve it.

SpeakerGregory Kuperman, Program Manager, Strategic Technology Office, DARPA
10:00 am - 10:45 am

In the opening keynotes, we will talk about the changing security environment in light of the attacks on satellite infrastructure last year, how emerging space companies can look to work with governments and others, and the ever growing importance of security, given the changing dynamics in this area. LEO brings more satellites, and in many ways could be the future of the industry. Our keynotes will rejoin the stage alongside industry professionals to talk about how this new breed of space company, and companies without decades of heritage, can work with government agencies to show they can provide the levels of security needed going forward.

2022 proved to be an eventful year, especially for the satellite industry. Satellites were front and center in Ukraine, with Viasat on the frontline and Starlink playing a key role in keeping Ukraine connected. This put the security of satellites in the spotlight. How did the events in 2022 shape the way LEO operators are approaching cybersecurity in 2023? What did we learn from what happened in Ukraine that we can apply today?

Apple’s deal with Globalstar, Starlink’s deal with T-Mobile. Game-changing deals are being made between the satellite industry and handset manufacturers/telcos and progressing collaboration between satellite and terrestrial telco. However, these deals create a ripe environment for bad actors to attack these networks. What are the security implications of these recent “game-changer” deals? How can the satellite industry capitalize on this exciting new market while mitigating threats?

9:30 am - 10:00 am

We’ve all heard the saying, “it takes a village…” While we typically apply this to child rearing, it also applies to battling cyber criminals.  When identifying, hunting, and eradicating threat actors,  knowledge truly is power. Time and again we have seen that we win when we work together and improve the speed and clarity of our communications. 


Chris Scott has been on the front lines of the cyber battlefield for more than 25 years. He will share the lessons he has learned along the way from responding to incidents, preparing defenses for emerging threats, and devising better ways to use technology to accelerate detection and response for organizations.

SpeakerChris Scott, Managing Partner, Palo Alto Networks
10:00 am - 10:45 am

Our keynotes will join industry experts on the stage to talk about the development of a multi-path, multi-orbit system of systems involving LEO satellites. What are the implications of building such a system and how close we are to a move away from being beholden to one technology? It represents a significant cultural shift from what we have seen before. Is it worth the risk?

There will be more satellite terminals than ever before, and in turn, more entry points into a system than we have ever seen. The building of these terminals will take place more rapidly and flood the market. How is the technology in these terminals progressing? Will satellite networks become more vulnerable?

Satellite networks being attacked is a phenomenon that is here to stay, emphasized by the Viasat breach last year. When an attack happens, the adrenaline is running high, decisions have to be made as quickly as they come up and every step you take is a crucial one. In times of a crisis, how do you manage the situation? This panel of crisis management experts walk through an effective ‘cyber crisis management’ approach and what satellite companies can do if the sky starts to fall.
