smartphones and IoT devices – even cars, trucks, air lines and shipping industries using
GPS – all based upon weak and insecure satellite networks. Satellites are hard to upgrade,

and so much more – this area is ripe for investment and innovation in cyber defense,
according to Dr. DeWalt. There’s only one company, to date, putting in any energy into
