Increasingly, the United States is becoming more and more
dependent on Space-based technologies and systems. Our adversaries
are well aware of this and have become much more aggressive in
their attempts to understand, infiltrate and interfere with
Space-based operations, while watching the corresponding impacts to
ground-based critical infrastructure. Mr. Keen will discuss that
increasing dependency and the associated cyber aspect, then
extrapolate that into the upstream and downstream impacts to
terrestrial critical infrastructure that occur as a result of
Space-based events. Finally, he will discuss how the expanding
presence of Space-based operations presents an increasing and
dangerous cyber threat to both the Space-based and
terrestrial-based critical infrastructure systems as they become
even more co-dependent moving forward.
