Synopsis:
As the United States moves to establish space as an operational domain and seeks to support a space economy, there are corresponding challenges to addressing cybersecurity vulnerabilities and threats to the sector. While many existing cybersecurity principles and practices remain applicable to space as an emerging commercial critical infrastructure sector, there are many nuances and specialties that will require augmenting existing cybersecurity education and training content and learning experiences, and requirements for new work roles or competency areas are likely to emerge.
