Episode Notes

In this thought-provoking episode of On Location with Sean and Marco, we soar into the fascinating world of space cybersecurity with our esteemed guest, Tim Fowler. As a penetration tester at Black Hills Information Security, specializing in offensive security, Tim shares his intriguing transition from focusing on terrestrial cybersecurity challenges to those within the space domain.

With the space industry rapidly democratizing, he highlights the urgency for better securing our assets in space, drawing a compelling parallel with the historical oversight in the industrial control systems (ICS) sector. The conversation explores the unique challenges and opportunities space cybersecurity presents, including the emerging need for governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) frameworks tailored for space. Tim's insights shed light on the importance of secure software development and contingency planning in this critical yet exhilarating field.

Additionally, Tim enthuses about his upcoming workshop at HackSpaceCon, 'Bring Your Own Satellite' (BYOS), aimed at demystifying space cybersecurity through hands-on experience with virtual satellites. The episode also humorously touches upon the concept of 'Deorbit plans' and the fanciful notion of hacking the 'Death Star,' blending deep technical discussion with engaging speculative thought.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the nexus of cybersecurity and space exploration, offering a unique perspective on a domain that is becoming increasingly integral to our daily lives and future aspirations.

Key Questions Addressed

• How can cybersecurity principles be applied to the space domain?
• What challenges does the democratization of space present to cybersecurity?
• How does one begin building a virtual satellite lab?
