Space Security Challenge 2020: Hack-A-Sat
Start Date: Aug 7, 2020
End Date: Aug 9, 2020
The democratization of space has opened up a new frontier of exploration and innovation. But with this opportunity, new cybersecurity vulnerabilities are also being created. One human can design, build and launch a satellite, adhering to very few standards and security protocols.
So how can we achieve safe, reliable and trustworthy operations to truly realize the promise of space? …By hacking a satellite.
