Cybersecurity Threats in The Cloud Software Supply Chain

January 20, 2022 — Cybersecurity Threats in the Cloud Software Supply Chain

Register now for ATARC’s Cybersecurity Threats in the Cloud Software Supply Chain event on January 20, 2022, from 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM ET. High-profile software supply chain attacks, such as SolarWinds and Kaseya VSA, have shed a glaring light on the disparity between agencies’ perceptions of security within their cloud infrastructure and the reality of supply chain threats that can impact business catastrophically. Tune in to this panel to hear what topic experts have to say on threat assessment within the cloud, and how the Executive Order impacted agencies’ cloud security practices. Register here.

SmallSat Symposium 2022

February 8-10, 2022 – Mountain View, CA

SmallSats now account for 97% of satellites launched and almost half of all upmass. With hundreds of SmallSat projects underway, this massive shift in satellite markets is poised to only accelerate in the near term.

The 2022 SmallSat Symposium brings together the leaders driving this change to identify critical trends and qualify disruptive technologies. An ideal environment for open communication, important networking and critical insight are hallmarks of this must-attend satellite industry event.

Supply chain will be discussed on the panel: Logistical Support and Integration Services for SmallSat Systems

Rocky Mountain Cyberspace Symposium 2022

Rocky Mountain Cyberspace Symposium 2022 (eventsquid.com)

Rocky Mountain Cyberspace Symposium 2022 AFCEA Rocky Mountain Chapter
Mon, February 21, 2022 — Thu, February 24, 2022

The Rocky Mountain Cyberspace Symposium’s theme this year is: “Securing Partnerships and Technologies.” Modern organizations, whether Federal or Commercial, are increasingly interdependent on each other for mission critical pieces of their operations.  Events in late 2020 and early 2021 highlighted some of the risks and vulnerabilities that can come with this dependence.  Whether it is supply chain risk as demonstrated by the SolarWinds hack, or more traditional exploitations like those seen against Microsoft Exchange; as we all increasingly rely on trusted partners for our success, a critical look at existing and new strategies for securing our shared requirements becomes necessary.

CyberSatDigital (May 10-12, Virtual)

CyberSatDigital

Through a combination of digital and in-person experiences, CyberSat events provide a unique and powerful opportunity for the cybersecurity community to better understand the most pressing threat vectors with the intent to prevent cyberattacks.

Taking place online May 10 – 12, CyberSatDigital began the all-important conversation on how to identify bad actors, neutralize risks, and thwart threats on our assets in the satellite ecosystem.

The Aerospace Corporation served as event co-sponsor, contributed to multiple panels and hosted the CyberSatDigital classified day of programming.

Space ISAC’s Role in Security to the Global Space Sector

It’s essential to signal to our adversaries and competitors, and to cybercriminals that they cannot put space systems at risk successfully and that the security and resilience of these systems can be assured under all circumstances. The Mission of Space ISAC is to facilitate collaboration across the global space industry to enhance our ability to prepare for and respond to vulnerabilities, incidents, and threats facing our space systems and the critical infrastructure they comprise. The panel will discuss the technical, policy, and implementation challenges of protecting that infrastructure and the policy decisions, such as designating these systems as a sector of the nation’s critical infrastructure.

  • Moderator: Erin MillerExecutive Director, Space ISAC
  • Speakers: 
    • Ed Devinney, Corporate Director for Cyber Programs, Northrop Grumman
