Space assets such as satellites, drones and spacecraft are increasingly attractive targets for adversaries ranging from individual hackers, to hacker groups and nation states. This rapid rise in the cyber threat landscape necessitates smarter cyber tools to stay ahead of our adversaries. In this talk, I will present the work being done by the Cyber Defense Engineering and Research (CDER) group at JPL in addressing cyber challenges as pertaining to JPL’s missions. I will specifically focus on our work combining model-based engineering and AI-based reasoning to build a unique capability for automated cyber risk assessments.

The latest McKinsey Global Survey on AI in May of 2024 concludes that 2023 was the year the world discovered generative AI (GenAI) and 2024 is the year organizations truly began using—and deriving business value from—this new technology. An incredible 65 percent of respondents report that their organizations are regularly using GenAI, which is nearly double the percentage from the previous survey just ten months before. Respondents’ expectations for gen AI’s impact remain as high with three-quarters predicting that gen AI will lead to significant or disruptive change in their industries in the years ahead. This session is an invaluable opportunity for business leaders like you to overcome your hesitation and uncertainty of AI. Mastering AI tools and techniques is not just about keeping pace with technology; it's about leveraging these advanced resources to fill in knowledge gaps, enhance decision-making, and drive productivity. Learning to utilize AI not only streamlines operations but also significantly boosts your capacity to deliver increased business outcomes, making you more valuable and a strategic asset to your organization. You will leave equipped with practical, actionable strategies that you can implement immediately, turning your uncertainty into confidence and empowering you to leverage AI effectively in your daily tasks.
