A panel of experts on cyber resilience in space
from SRI’s PARC Forum
Space and cybersecurity experts point out that old security assumptions no longer hold as satellite networks grow in quantity and complexity. This PARC Forum was moderated by Ulf Lindqvist, Sr. Technical Director in SRI’s Computer Science Lab, and featured a panel of experts: Greg Falco (Cornell University, Aerospace Security & Autonomy Asst. Professor), James Curbo (Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, Group Chief Scientist, Constrained Cyber Solutions Group), and Dan Trujillo (Air Force Research Lab, Space Warfare, Space Cyber Technical Leader). Panelists noted that space cybersecurity can’t just borrow from today’s IT security. Physics, legacy hardware, and the fact that you can’t just reboot a satellite present a much different problem. AI complicates the picture: it’s accelerating vulnerability discovery for attackers and defenders alike, which makes “assume breach” resilience more urgent than trying to prevent every intrusion. The event took place on Sept 9, 2026 in Washington, D.C. For the latest news and updates, follow us here.
