Cyber Risk in Modern Space Missions Themes Our two themes divide the workshop into morning and afternoon sessions. In the morning, we cover Cyber Security Policy. Dr. Ron Ross, NIST, will discuss the recently published "Framework for Important Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity". The intent of the Framework is to give guidelines for building secure IT systems from the ground up. The session on Risk Automation will discuss techniques for objectively analyzing and mitigating cyber security risks to space missions and assets. A key focus of the afternoon session is Defensive Space Control. The goal of DSC is to help ensure space mission survivability in the face of a full spectrum of threats, including cyber threats. The concept requires situational awareness as well as knowledge of the threats to a particular space system. Security engineering for DSC includes not only protection from potential attacks, but also mission resilience to recover from successful attacks. Goal The Workshop goal is to increase awareness of the threats to modern space systems posed by cyber attacks and the current methods, and future research, related to ensuring space mission survivability. This is not settled science, and we are attempting to cover relatively new territory. We intend discussions to be enlightening to all in attendance and to bring novel solutions to some of the security issues facing modern space missions. Approach We encourage audience participation and two-way discussion of these topics. As such, the presenters will act more as facilitators leading the discussions. The workshop concludes with a panel discussion moderated by the workshop organizers to further analyze and reflect on the issues presented throughout the day.
