Effective cybersecurity depends on three things: people, technology, and strategy. If our strategy (architecture, design, and methodology) is flawed, so is everything.

And that is exactly what happened with US and NATO space and satellite, and other military sytems, used by Russian military forces to kill over 2,000 in one week in the Ukraine. (Again) 

A weak link in any one of these pillars jeopardizes our government, our economy, and our futures. The tragic Russian attacks on the Ukraine are a global Red Flag that the US, as a leading human rights policy shaper and as the world's largest single government; just pay attention to the downstream externalities of sloppy cyber security safeguards and / or flawed design in mission-critical sytems and national infrastructure.

We help goverment and private sector clients identify cyber, network, and infrastructure vulnerabilities or exploitations in air, sea, and space systems worldwide. Key among our discoveries has been the identification and elevation to US White House, US Joint Chiefs, and US Cabinet Secretaries the astonishing use of US military, FAA/DOT, and commercial navigational and other guidance and communications systems worldwide by North Korea, China, Russia and Iran to guide attacks against US troops, UK and Isareali troops, and helpless civilians. Our work directly supported the 2020 US Executive Order mandating better security for global PNT (navigational) positioning systems. But response was not fast enough.

______________

The current crisis in the Ukraine, a humanitarian disaster, is a direct reflection of US large defense contractors putting up sophisticated satellite and space technology for use by our enemies. And Congress funding it eagerly, without question. Our CEO flagged urgently to White House and other leadership, in the weeks leading up to the Russian attacks on the Ukraine, that they would be using our US and European military networks to guide their jets, ships, drones, and missiles.

And how to prevent this.

Unfortunately, we did not win and those countermeasures were not put into place. To save the Ukraine.
