  • Space supply chain pressures.

    Space supply chain pressures.
    Jun 28 2026
    Despite the space sector seeing greater investment and attention year-over-year, the sector still remains bound by an outdated and ineffective supply chain, especially in the United States. In this week’s episode, host Maria Varmazis sits down with Doug Anderson, Partner at PwC, and Steve Jordan-Tomaszewski, Vice President of the Space Systems Division at AIA, to dive into PwC’s recent study looking at the sector’s supply chain limitations. During the conversation, they examine the supply chain’s base risks and bottlenecks, and what strategies can be utilized to address these concerns.

  • Navigating the GPS threat landscape, with Brandon Karpf.

    Navigating the GPS threat landscape, with Brandon Karpf.
    Jun 21 2026
    Traditionally, GPS jamming attacks have been confined to the ground; however, new data shows that these attacks could be moving to target signals before they even reach the ground. In this week’s episode, host Maria Varmazis sits down with Dave Bittner and Brandon Karpf to discuss recent research that suggests the attack landscape for GPS attacks is expanding. If this research is accurate, these attacks represent a significant evolution for how defenders think about this critical technology. Key sources: Something is jamming GPS over Europe.

    Securing satellites already in space, with journalist Shaun Waterman.
    Jun 14 2026
    For years, space cybersecurity has been a long sought after goal, but due to operational constraints, it was largely unfeasible. In this week’s episode, host Maria Varmazis sits down with journalist Shaun Waterman to discuss his recent article “The Newest Space Race is Cyber.” As space has increasingly become a critical infrastructure component, industry leaders and security agencies alike have begun to launch new initiatives to improve capabilities both on the ground and in orbit.

    Spoofing ships, jamming drones: how GPS manipulation confuses and compromises.
    Jun 7 2026
    GPS constellations have become foundational in modern society supporting everything from navigation to financial services, making the impacts of GPS disruptions all the more concerning. As reliance on these systems have grown, so too have efforts by threat actors to disrupt them through techniques such as jamming and spoofing. As these attacks have become more effective, they are becoming increasingly common, especially in conflict zones where disruption and confusion can prove exceedingly valuable.

  • GPS: A backbone for critical infrastructure.

    GPS: A backbone for critical infrastructure.
    May 31 2026
    Since its original creation in the 1970s, GPS has evolved from a technology primarily used by the military to a foundation for modern society. After the removal of selective availability for civilians in 2000, GPS’s value has significantly expanded. In the past two decades, nearly every critical infrastructure sector–telecommunications, transportation, energy, agriculture, emergency services, and financial services–relies on GPS constellations to ensure that timing and location accuracy are precise. Though many do not see its utility in day-to-day efforts, GPS has become entrenched in modern networks and services. Key sources: Removal of selective availability.
