## Resource

For years, space cybersecurity has been a long sought after goal, but due to operational constraints, it was largely unfeasible. In this week’s episode, host Maria Varmazis sits down with journalist Shaun Waterman to discuss his recent article “The Newest Space Race is Cyber.” As space has increasingly become a critical infrastructure component, industry leaders and security agencies alike have begun to launch new initiatives to improve capabilities both on the ground and in orbit. Key sources: The Newest Space Race is Cyber. DHS Wants Satellite Volunteers to Test New Cyber Tools. Five Teams of Hackers will Compete to Breach US Satellite in Space. Like what you heard?
