About this talk
Spacecraft are built to survive unexpected failures, with operators finding workarounds. This operational resilience, however, doesn't always translate to security, leaving critical systems vulnerable. #Spacecraft #Cybersecurity #Resilience #MissionControl #TechChallenges

My last point is what I will elaborate a bit more is missing security culture. So, there is a huge, like, I would say hacking culture in terms of keeping things operational. So, if something fails, if there is on spacecraft, you often have things failing you didn't expect to fail. And they're kind of built to handle this kind of things, and the operators will find a way around to still keep the thing going. Um but unfortunately, this does not translate to security. So, this translate to safety of the thing, but not to the security of the thing.
