Civil and Systems Engineering Seminar: Arun Viswanathan

Description

The Department of Civil and Systems Engineering welcomes Arun Viswanathan, a cyber security researcher at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, for a talk titled "Model-based Approaches for Cyber Risk Assessment of Space Missions."

Please attend the event by using the Zoom link.

Abstract:

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.
