Risk Roundup

Meir Moalem, Founder and CEO of Sky and Space Global (UK) LTD, with European and Israeli centers of Aerospace, Satellite, and Software; participate in Risk Roundup to discuss NanoSatellites.

Progress and development necessitate exploring the unknown, and exploring the unknowns requires us to push the boundaries of science and technology. Irrespective of whether it is exploring cyberspace, geospace, or space; science and technology-driven exploration help us solve fundamental problems facing humanity, not only today but also in the coming tomorrow.

As we begin space exploration, satellites seem to be playing a very important role in space endeavors. From the very first satellite that captured the attention of the world, and launched at the beginning of the space age exploration, to the thousands of satellites that we see today in space; satellites have gone through a fundamental transformation and brought revolution and evolution.

Thousands of satellites, of all sizes and shapes, are operational in space today. While many of these satellites are often positioned outward for scientific exploration purposes and a better view of the universe; there are many satellites that are pointing inward towards us, to give us a better view of the earth itself. And there are also those satellites that are pointing sideways to monitor other satellites and so on.

It is not just the position and direction of the satellites that are evolving, the size and nature of satellites are evolving too! Satellites are becoming smaller. These miniaturizing tiny satellites, nanosatellites, are revolutionizing space endeavors and industry, as they can do everything traditional satellites are able to; and that too, in a much more affordable and effective manner.

What is promising is that the accuracy, affordability, accessibility, and adaptability offered by these tiny satellites are giving nations a new way to chart and explore, not only the enormity of space but also help us manage the complexity of our planet earth in cyberspace, geospace, and space.

The democratization of space is on its way– at least as far as the lower orbits are concerned. While these miniaturized nanosatellites are affordable, accessible, adaptable, effective, and deployable, and are going into space at an ever-increasing rate, it is important to evaluate their security impact on cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS).

Now is the time to talk about the risks emerging due to nano-satellites and the democratization of space.

Prof. Daniel Aldrich, author of several books on Resilience, and Director of the Resilience & Security Studies Program at Northeastern University participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Resilience and Security.

If we are to protect our hard-fought progress and development in cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS), managing and building resilience needs to be a priority for entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA). Nations will thrive when all of their components know how to build resilience in their initiatives.

The ability of a nation to be resilient and its effectiveness, therefore, depends upon all its components’ ability to anticipate, absorb, adapt to, and/or rapidly recover from any potentially disruptive event in cyberspace, geospace, and space.

Since, risk, resilience, and security walk hand in hand, it is important to understand how to manage security risks from cyberspace, geospace, and space. It needs to be understood that any attempt to reduce the risks in CGS, is a step towards building a resilient nation. Since each decision and action impacts the level of resilience in CGS, the assessments of and choices made about security risk from CGS decision-makers will likely shape how individuals and entities across NGIOA will behave; how they will respond during and after a security event, irrespective of CGS, and how they will plan for future security in CGS.

Understanding security risks from cyberspace, geospace, and space are therefore fundamental to nations’ resilience and security.

As risk, resilience, and recovery are slowly but steadily becoming an integral component of risk management and oversight, nations that are able to balance and manage not only independent: tactical, operational, and strategic security risks, but also interconnected and interdependent CGS security risks that transcend their traditional boundaries in cyberspace, geospace and space will move ahead of competitors that cannot.

It is time to talk about Risk, Resilience, and Security!

Ryan English, the President of Flymotion Unmanned Systems, a drone technology solution company based in the United States, participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Drone Applications and Security Risks.

As traditional surveillance techniques are normally limited by the stationary nature of the camera and its manual, slow and complex operations; the realistic potential of aerial surveillance using unmanned aircraft systems (commonly known as UAVs or drones), provides much needed and simple solutions to the ongoing complex challenges faced by the traditional surveillance techniques and technology.

The UAVs or drone surveillance today gives nations an easier, faster, affordable, accessible, and effective method of data collection. It is, therefore, no surprise that the drone Industry is anticipating tremendous growth in the coming years as not only governments and military but also industries as diverse as energy, agriculture, insurance, media, real estate are expected to begin adopting drone technology, if they are not already doing so.

From pizza delivery to package delivery, from residential security to critical infrastructure security, from inspection to investigation, from spying to surveillance, to search and rescue, and more, drones are emerging today to play a critical role for nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA). It is important that we evaluate, the existing and emerging drone applications and their ecosystem:

• Trends for developing drone applications
• Drone usage and the security industry
• Powering drones
• Future of drones

While drones or UAVs seem to be here to stay, it is important to evaluate the framework of rules for drone manufacturers, sellers, and operators, as the very safety and security of each one of us is at play here. Time is now to talk about the existing and emerging Drone Applications and Security Risks.

Casey Fleming, CEO Of Blackops Partners and Advisor to The Top Leadership of Business, Government, The Military, The White House and Congress; The Co-Author Of SPECTRE– The Hybrid Warfare Exercise and Recipient of The Cyber-Security Excellence Awards Participate in Risk Roundup To Discuss – Asymmetrical Hybrid Warfare.

The nature of warfare is clearly changing and evolving. Over the years, wars have gotten smaller, are generally not declared, and are even won without the need to fire a single shot or missile. This is understandably alarming everyone– individuals as well as entities across nations: its governments, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA).

There are clear and visible signs that technology is reshaping the way wars are fought in cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS). In a world that is increasingly dependent on technology, as the nature of warfare evolves and becomes hi-tech, so do the dividing sovereignty lines blurring across cyberspace, geospace, and space.

Irrespective of cyberspace, geospace, and space today, wars are simply happening when individuals, groups, or nations/states, armed with advanced information, communication, and other powerful technologies, create the conditions for hybrid warfare to achieve their strategic objectives in CGS.

This vicious, technology-driven power struggle, raging on in cyberspace, geospace, and space, this new connected CGS battleground is full of unknowns, including major players, minor players, rules of war, and reasons for war. In these connected CGS battlefields, the war casualties have been quietly piling up. It seems everyone, individuals, and entities across NGIOA are being hit, and are at risk of being hit. No one is being spared.

As computer code, connected computers, the internet, and advances in cyberspace, geospace, and space technology fundamentally transform warfare, the new reality of connected asymmetric hybrid warfare is causing panic across nations’ decision makers. So, the question is how can any nation contain the threats posed by asymmetric hybrid CGS warfare?

Let us evaluate that further-

• Blurring boundaries between Cyberspace, Geospace, and Space
• Technology Evolution and Revolution
• The democratization of War Weapons
• Asymmetric Hybrid Warfare

When everything that is connected to the internet becomes a target and a war zone, who will we defend, what will we defend, and how will we defend?

Historically, the implications of any technology revolution and evolution are often not understood at first. That was true of the tank, the machine gun, and the telephone over the years, and is still true today when we evaluate blockchain, machine learning, and CRISPR technology that changes the fundamentals of cyber weapons, nano-weapons, bio-weapons, and space weapons. It may take time for NGIOA decision-makers to realize that inserting new technologies in cyberspace, geospace, or space: be it something as simple as information, communication, and digitization technology to artificial intelligence, blockchain, or CRISPR technology; the new ways of doing things always create new inefficiencies, vulnerabilities, and risks.

Time is now to talk about Asymmetric Hybrid Warfare!

Scott Foote, CEO of Protinuum based in the United States participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Cyber-Security Risk Intelligence.

When security risks from cyberspace, merge and converge with geospace and space; security risk intelligence has never been more important for humanity than it is now in a digital global age. With millions of annual cyber-attacks, cyber-crime has become a real threat to individuals and entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) using computers, smartphones, tablets, the internet of things, and other gadgets connected to the internet. Either somebody’s identity is stolen every few seconds, or someone’s confidential data is stolen as a result of cybercrime. This is a serious cause of concern.

Irrespective of cyberspace, geospace, or space (CGS), security risk intelligence has become one of the most important of the core elements which must be established by entities across NGIOA. It is no surprise that nations: their government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) are spending enormous resources on the gathering and analysis of cyber-security risk intelligence.

Today, more than ever, cyber-security risk intelligence must provide information that can be acted upon by NGIOA decision-makers, if it is going to be deemed of value in cyberspace, geospace, and space. Having said that, it is one thing to gather security risk data and extract information but an entirely different thing to turn that information into meaningful and actionable intelligence.

• Understanding Cyber-Security Risk Intelligence
• Defining Cyber-Security Risk Intelligence Goals
• Reliability of The Current Cyber-Security Risk Management Framework
• Cyber-Security Risk Intelligence Approach
• Cyber-Security Risk Intelligence Sharing
• Cyber-Security Risk Intelligence Programs

Interconnected and integrated CGS risk intelligence, needs to play a central role in CGS Security Risk Intelligence. Time is now to talk about cyber-security risk intelligence!

Dr. David Steenblock, President, CEO, Chief Scientist, and Research Physician at Brain Regeneration, Inc based in the United States participate in Risk Roundup to discuss Healthcare in Turmoil.

The health care system today is in turmoil. It is highly fragmented, doctor-centric, siloed, disconnected, ineffective, costly, and facing a frightful financial future. The massive healthcare-driven fiscal problems that nations are facing today, and will face in the coming tomorrow, will likely put nations’ survival, security, and sustainability at risk.

While, across nations, over the years, there have been many talks and trials to fix the broken healthcare system to make it more accessible, affordable, and effective; the more the decision-makers have tried, the more it has got messier and complex. So, what can be done?

Let us evaluate this further-

• State of Healthcare Industry
• Demand for Change
• Technology Transformation
• Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
• Challenges

It seems that technology can solve many problems healthcare is facing today and will face in the coming tomorrow. While technology advances, new tools, and platforms will emerge that will likely change our traditional notion of how health care can be delivered, it is not going to be an easy change.

While the technological advances have the potential to make healthcare more affordable, accessible, and effective as we know it, they will also likely bring complex security challenges, industry acceptance challenges, regulatory obstacles, power conflicts, and many other challenges.

Now is the time to talk about Healthcare Turmoil!

Dr. Norman Johnson, Chief Scientist of Referentia Systems participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Collective Intelligence.

What is collective intelligence and why does it matter to a digital global age and the imminent space age? For most of the documented human history, collective intelligence was confined to small groups locally. In a digital global age, because of the advances in information, communication, digitization technologies, the internet, and more, we are now capable of having collective intelligence on a global scale, across all boundaries in cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS).

To accommodate this shift in scale and the growing demand for transparency, collaboration, and cooperation, there is a beginning of a global effort to build truly collaborative systems at all levels: local, national, and global. In the coming years, the emerging collaborative collective intelligence systems will likely have the potential to dominate all processes across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA). It is therefore important to evaluate this further-

• Evolutionary Journey Towards Mutualistic NGIOA Symbiosis
• Technology Transformation and Potential for Collective Systems
• Collective Risk Management System
• Shared Organizations

Today, technology has democratized information and intelligence! Let us all embark on having individual and collective NGIOA goals to elevate the discussion on this critical topic of collective intelligence to move beyond self-serving ideology and sound bites and into the hearts and minds to shape the coming tomorrow in cyberspace, geospace, and space. Let us be self-aware, conscious, informed, develop our minds, and collectively evolve. Now is the time to talk about collective intelligence!

Dr. Norman Johnson has been active in pure and applied research programs nationally and internationally. He seeks to understand for the greater good: the interplay between top-down centralized structures and bottoms-up distributed processes – across all types of social structures from extended families to organizations to societies to natural systems. He sees the collective organization through the lenses of social identity (awareness of us-versus-them), the tradeoffs between structure and options in evolving systems, and the power of emergent problem solving of diverse collectives – particularly as the source of all deep social change.

Sean Lane, Chairman, and CEO of CrossChx based in the United States participate in Risk Roundup to discuss the Artificial Intelligence-based Healthcare System.

Today, healthcare is facing massive complex challenges. While, across nations, over the years, there have been many talks and trials to fix the broken healthcare system to make it more accessible, affordable, and effective; the more the decision-makers have tried, the more it has got messier. However, it seems there is hope now and the hope comes from technology!

To begin with, the technology-driven big-data revolution is already underway in healthcare. At the same time, there is also another silent revolution brewing in the healthcare industry in the form of artificial intelligence. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

The imminent transformation driven by the rise of artificial intelligence-based applications, big data, and mobility is poised to not only allow the healthcare industry to digitize many of the pen and paper-based operations and processes that currently slows it down and make it costly and ineffective, but will also help people live longer and better lives.

From medicine to healthcare and wellness to lifestyle management, the transformative impact of artificial intelligence-based applications alone presents the healthcare ecosystem, opportunities across a diverse set of administrative, diagnostic, therapeutic, and clinical healthcare functions to help deliver affordable, accessible, reliable, transparent, and effective medicine and healthcare all over the world.

While the artificial intelligence technology advances could make healthcare more affordable, accessible, and effective as we know it, it will also likely bring complex security challenges, industry acceptance challenges, regulatory challenges, and many other conflicts and challenges. Now is the time to talk about artificial intelligence-based healthcare systems!

Daniel Faber, a Pioneer of Space Technologies and Mining, and currently President and CEO of Heliocentric Technologies and Advisor to National Space Society in the United States, participate in Risk Roundup to discuss Space Mining.

The democratization of Space seems to be on its way as terrestrial planets, gas giants, Trojan asteroids, and a range of other bodies orbiting the Sun are now beginning to be explored for precious metals by pioneers. This will help us prepare for what the future may hold for humans.

Precious metals have influenced the course of recorded human history, and today and coming tomorrow will likely not be any different. Nations today feel that there are not enough precious metal resources on earth to meet everyone’s needs and that we need to look to space to meet our existing and emerging needs on earth.

Moreover, the dooming belief that everything we hold of value on earth is in finite amounts is now being questioned; as metals, minerals, energy sources and more are literally in near-infinite quantities in our solar system. Understandably, the human exploration horizon is now expanding to space.

Today, there are visible signs emerging from across nations that mining asteroids for precious metals are becoming a realistic goal. However, the question remains whether we have the technology and means for space mining, whether space mining is a viable industry and whether nations are prepared for what is to come.

While space technology advances could end the scarcity of essential minerals as we know it, the democratization of space and asteroid mining will also likely bring complex conflicts and challenges. It is important to evaluate its security impact on cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS). Now is the time to talk about Space Mining Risks!

Daniel Robles, Co-Founder of Integrated Engineering Blockchain Consortium participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Blockchain-based Risk Transfer.

The demand for transparency is increasing across nations: its governments, industries, organization, and academia (NGIOA) as the current centralized systems do not power transparency and are proving ineffective. Over the years, risk management has lost its meaning and way. Despite numerous efforts from across nations, how we manage risks today, remains largely basic, difficult to verify, and futile.

This is due to many reasons as who identifies risks to who evaluates risks, who transfers risks to how risks are transferred, who manages risks to for whom the risks are managed plays a very important role in the global risk ecosystem.

When the risks from cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS) add to the complexity of the risk ecosystem, who can be trusted to manage all data about each and every risk from CGS and all its interconnections? The truth is that as of now, no single individual or entity across NGIOA can be trusted to identify, evaluate, manage or govern the growing complex interconnected and interdependent risks from CGS.

This is a cause of great concern. In the global CGS risk ecosystem, relying on any individual, or even an entity would create an inherent bias and weakness in the much-needed neutrality and transparency, risk management demands. This is mainly because anyone involved in the risk management or governance would ultimately care for only its own bottom line or its interests and affiliates’ bottom line. This could lead to selective disclosure of risks or, worse, even extortion.

So, what can be done? Who can fill the role? It seems blockchain promises us a whole new approach and way of managing risks using a global peer-to-peer network that provides an open platform that can deliver neutrality, reliability, integrity, transparency, and security in the way we manage risks.

This changes everything. Blockchain technology brings a promise of potential to manage not only independent but also interconnected and interdependent cyberspace, geospace and space risks facing individuals and entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia.  Now is the time to talk about blockchain-based risk transfer!
