Welcome to Space Security Challenge 2020, HackASAT, the final event.
As the democratization of space opens up a new frontier for exploration and innovation,
we see new cybersecurity vulnerabilities emerging.
The Space Security Challenge is designed to inspire the world's top cybersecurity talent
to develop the skills necessary to secure this last frontier of cybersecurity, space.
And already we've made a ton of progress. I'll catch you up.
This spring, we hosted over 2,000 teams who worked their way through a set of foundational space cybersecurity challenges
in our HackASAT qualification round.
Now, eight finalist teams are stepping up to the ultimate challenge.
They are hacking a satellite.
So welcome. You have arrived at the Hacker's Den, where you will immerse yourself in the HackASAT contest
and learn more about the challenges of cybersecurity in space.
I'll show you around.
No matter where you go in the den, you will see this control panel.
Use it to access the map, control audio, check the scoreboard, see current announcements,
view the event schedule, and ask for help.
To enhance your experience, you can also chat and interact with other people in the different rooms.
This is the SOC, the Satellite Ops Center.
Here on the main screen, you can watch the live programming for the event and keep your eye on the scoreboard.
Let's go deeper into the den.
In the chill-out zone, you can kick back, leave a note on the graffiti wall, play games, and check in on social.
Space cybersecurity and hacking are big topics, and there's a lot to learn.
Head to the research room where you'll find resources to expand your knowledge.
When you're ready to immerse yourself in the contest, take the lift up to the roof to reach the Stardome.
At the workbench, you can interact with the contest feeds and learn more about the teams, the contest, and the technology involved.
Over at the telescope, you can check the team's progress and more.
This is also a great place to take a moment to yourself, take a deep breath in the garden, and gaze at the night sky.
Exit the virtual experience with a FastPass to join the DEF CON conversation or enjoy our skill-building aerospace workshops and all the great activities in the Aerospace Village.
Last thing, thanks for joining us. The future of space security depends on the work we're doing together.
