DESCRIPTION:   'Title: Small Satellite Modeling and Defender Software\n   W
 hen: Saturday\, Aug 10\, 13:30 - 13:59 PDT\n   Where: LVCC West/Floor 1/Ha
 ll 4/Creator Stage 3 - [1]Map\n\n   Description:\n\n   The proliferation o
 f ride-share rocket launches and decrease in the\n   overall cost of sendi
 ng payloads to space due to recent successes in\n   the private space indu
 stry has made small satellite systems a cost\n   effective and time-effici
 ent method to put research vehicles in space.\n\n   The University of Alab
 ama in Huntsville’s Center for Cybersecurity\n   Research and Education 
 (CCRE) has been funded by the U.S. Army Space\n   and Missile Defense Comm
 and (SMDC) over the last several years to\n   investigate the overall cybe
 rsecurity posture of small satellite\n   systems. Numerous iterations of s
 tudent teams led by CCRE and SMDC\n   staff members have managed to accomp
 lish notable research milestones.\n\n   This talk is meant to inform the n
 ext generation in aerospace\n   cybersecurity by discussing our major rese
 arch milestones\, relevant\n   findings\, lessons learned\, and areas of c
 oncern relating to the\n   overall cybersecurity posture of small satellit
 e systems.\n\n   Relevant items to be covered in this talk include what it
  took to\n   build a working small satellite system model as close to real
 -world as\n   possible (Raspberry Pis vs PyCubed boards vs other contender
 s)\,\n   implementation of small satellite functions (payload camera\, rad
 io\n   communications\, positioning/sensor array\, orbital simulation\,\n 
   battery/solar charging\, etc.)\, performing vulnerability analysis\n   a
 gainst the implemented model\, creating different attack scenarios\n   (Mi
 tM\, DoS\, spoofing\, hardware attacks)\, implementing defensive\n   mitig
 ations (hardening scripts\, command validation\, health checks)\,\n   and 
 the development of a lightweight software solution named “Small\n   Sate
 llite Defender” (SSD) designed to protect satellites from\n   potential 
 threat vectors.\n\n   SpeakerBio:  Kyle Murbach\, Principal Research Engin
 eer\, Center for\n   Cybersecurity Research and Education (UAH/CCRE) at Un
 iversity of\n   Alabama in Huntsville\n\n   Dr. Kyle Murbach is a Principa
 l Research Engineer at the University of\n   Alabama in Huntsville’s Cen
 ter for Cybersecurity Research and\n   Education (UAH/CCRE). With over 9 y
 ears of experience as a\n   cybersecurity researcher and software reverse 
 engineer with industry\n   and government\, he is responsible for leading 
 numerous cybersecurity\n   related projects as PI\, Co-PI\, and Subject Ma
 tter Expert in various\n   topic areas related to malware analysis\, tool 
 development\, reverse\n   engineering\, vulnerability analysis\, and compu
 ter network operations.\n\n   At UAH/CCRE\, Dr. Murbach is the technical d
 irector for the Space\n   Testing and Resiliency Simulation (STARS) Team w
 here he has led\n   numerous students in the design and development of a s
 mall satellite\n   testbed and vulnerability analysis of small satellite s
 ystems over the\n   last four years. Dr. Murbach has also led technical de
 velopment\n   efforts to create an automated malware analysis platform whi
 ch\n   integrates open-source tools to create high confidence summary\n   
 information of potential malicious activity in binary files. He also\n   p
 layed a key role in the development of a testbed for analysis of\n   malwa
 re on non-x86 architectures using emulation and integrated\n   open-source
  tools to collect comprehensive system data during\n   execution and creat
 e visualizations that display potential indicators\n   of compromise to th
 e user. He has worked with private industry\n   partners to assess\, rever
 se engineer\, and identify any potential\n   vulnerabilities in a custom c
 ryptographic software.\n\n   Dr. Murbach is CISSP certified\, he holds his
  PhD in Cyber Operations\n   from Dakota State University (2019) and BS/MS
  degrees in Computing\n   Security from Rochester Institute of Technology 
 (2016) as a CyberCorps\n   Scholarship for Service graduate. He has also t
 aught software reverse\n   engineering as an adjunct lecturer for the Univ
 ersity of Colorado at\n   Boulder for the last three years.\n\n   '\n\n
