While space has been a core component of national security scholarship for decades, most have overlooked one of the greatest threats to space - space asset cybersecurity. Furthermore, current policies don't account for how critical space systems are to civilian life, presenting additional barriers to closing the security gap.

Harrison Caudill spent most of his career in software and security before getting into the space industry. Having been through the ups and downs of smallsat communications, he set out to bring a generalized solution to the market at large. After navigating the technological maze, and working with the FCC to eliminate all regulatory hurdles, he moved to space security. In early 2019, he was asked to write a whitepaper on the security issues facing the industry, and that paper crystallized the community.
