This is a hybrid event. Students are encouraged to attend in person: STEW G52(Suite 050B)As the commercial and international space community grows to reach the projected $1T for the global economy, the vast domain of space becomes increasingly congested and contested. In this Seminar the Space Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Space ISAC) and the National Cybersecurity Center (NCC) team up to share their perspectives and insights on the intersection of cyber and space, how the game is changing, and what effect this will have on government, industry and academia. This talk will discuss the technology trends in the industry, threats to space systems, and make recommendations to students and faculty about how to navigate the landscape of space domain cybersecurity over the next five years. About the speaker: Mr. Scott Sage is the Chief Operating Officer of the National Cybersecurity Center, a national-level nonprofit organization that provides collaborative cybersecurity knowledge and services to the United States. He encourages, engages, and equips others to solve worthwhile hard problems like his most recent assignment to develop a new space cybersecurity market for Peraton Inc. He also recently developed a complicated IR sensor development from a blank sheet of paper to launch and operation in under 24 months, and his prior conception and execution of an Insider Threat and Information Warfare Behavior Based Analytics R&D project that generated 2 patents and increased interest from DoD and Intelligence Community customers. Past accomplishments include: ·      Automated Mission Impact Assessment of Network Disruptions - Patent 8347145 ·      Concept to Low Earth Orbit IR Sensor for Space Development Agency < 2 years ·      Northrop Grumman Sector Cyber and Information Operations Strategy Development ·      Industry-leading technology development for scalability in satellite C2 automation ·      Increased worldwide frequency access for Low Earth Orbit satellite communications ·      House Armed Services Committee praise for highly classified space advocacy plan ·      Conceptualized, researched and constructed unique DoD Space Order of Battle Annex ·      Highly praised Master of Science thesis addressing satellite radiation effects Before devoting his work full time to visionary growth development for Peraton, Scott managed counter- hypersonics development for Northrop Grumman, advanced cyber defense systems development for AT&T, and advanced space operations programs for aerospace companies and the US Navy. Scott has published international export material on cybersecurity issues associated with virtualization and cloud computing and developed a nation-wide R&D network for Northrop Grumman that allowed critical technologies to be brought online for use on high priority captures worth over $8.6B in future revenue. Scott has also been a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and Homeland Security Expert since going to work after completing 15 years of US Navy service as a Commander. Scott volunteered as the co-chair of the Space ISAC Information Sharing Working Group and co-chair for the DHS CISA Future of Space Working Group and has volunteered at Penrose hospital and the Colorado Springs Rescue Mission, along with being a leader at his church.

Each year Space ISAC puts on the Value of Space Summit (VOSS), co-hosted with The Aerospace Corporation at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs.

  Forensic Accounting is primarily just delving into the details, going to sources of the transactions, and making sure those are what has been recorded and/or used in business transactions or in a divorce arena, that those particular assets are existing or are there other assets. So we do a lot of tracing of transactions to hopefully get all the transactions put together in a format or a summary that makes sense for whatever the project covers. In one case, it’s really interesting and certainly eye-opening, as I went through it and, many times, led me in some directions that were uncomfortable, dealing with personalities, but this was an employee benefit client that had a significant investments. Digging into this estate issue? A situation where two beneficiaries, equal beneficiaries of an estate, and parents passed. The one child of the parents was a trustee, and so this trustee made numerous withdrawals to her benefit. It was a woman in this case. To her benefit and to the detriment of her sibling. So we had to go back and figure out where the money came into the trust, where the money came out of the trust, and then subsequently into the estate. An initial client interview easily would take us an hour or hour-and-a-half and be just kind of a fact-finding mission on our part, to really delve into what they’re after and what the issue is. It is an agreed-upon procedures type of engagement, where we outline what we would do, why we do it, and what the results would be and how we would summarize and provide that information to the client. Three broad categories: estate beneficiary, the business owner, divorce arena. Contractor case study: Two contractors and one contractor felt there could be job costs on that particular joint venture, coming from the other contractor, that were not on their joint job. What are the one or two things that they should have uppermost in their mind about engaging forensic services? What are the things they need to be aware of and think about? Independence of that forensic person. They really want somebody that’s got experience because, obviously, experience can mean you can do it effectively and timely, so that you’re not spinning your wheels. Misconceptions  about the forensic accounting? They don’t realize the nature of a lot of the transactions that they’ve looked at or been involved in. I think it’s just probably incumbent on them to, again, engage someone that has experience and exposure. Listen to the podcast: Bill Sanden, CEO FM Consulting, Forensic Accounting, 3 key areas We’re lucky to have Bill Sanden (https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-sanden-8b887911/) . He’s the former President of SSA and currently CEO of FM Consulting. Bill has extensive experience and specializes in audit and insurance, employee benefit plans, forensic accounting, and consulting.

I’ve been primarily an audit partner for many years and throughout that experience, I’ve got a lot of fun experiences and some not so fun but at this point, I wanted to change my career a little bit and simplify my life. I’ve gotten into looking at doing consulting in the forensic accounting arena and I’ve done some of that. It certainly is part of my role at SAA, but now I want to pursue that specific area going forward. I’m thinking of forensics and I’m thinking of the TV shows, which...
