Space mission cyber defense
CyberSAM
2019A data collection, analysis, and visualization suite that gives mission operators real-time cyber situational awareness for detecting and diagnosing attacks and anomalies. Featured in TechCrunch's coverage of JPL's cyber defense work.
CAVE
2022An AI-based reasoning tool for automated cyber risk assessment that translates high-level threat descriptions into system-specific, actionable defense tactics — enabling dramatically faster identification and remediation of cyber risks.
Secure-by-Design for Spacecraft Ground Systems
2024Led an effort in partnership with NIST to integrate systems security engineering principles (NIST SP 800-160) into the engineering lifecycle of the SunRISE spacecraft ground data systems.
IEEE 3536 — Space System Cybersecurity Standard
2023 - 2026Chaired the ground-systems subgroup for IEEE 3536, the international standard on space system cybersecurity, defining cybersecurity requirements and guidance for the ground systems that support space missions. The "secure-by-component" design paradigm — published at IEEE 3S 2024 — provided the foundational thinking behind the standard.
Cyber training, CTFs & exercises
2021 - 2024Designed three capture-the-flag competitions for mission engineers and students, a CubeSat hacking workshop at DEF CON, and an international space-cyber tabletop exercise at AIAA ASCEND.
F Prime adversarial assessment
