NASA’s cybersecurity challenges continue to bubble up. About a week after my month-long investigative report into major shortcoming with the space agency’s approach to patching software, a private sector non-profit is calling NASA out for not moving fast enough on a potential cybersecurity breakthrough.
The Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology (ICIT) is calling on NASA to unleash Gryphon X in a bulletin it published on March 23.
“Gryphon X was one of those proposals we’ve been waiting since the summer to hear more about,” said James Scott, ICIT’s co-founder and senior fellow. “We have good relationships with the C-level people at Ames Research Center, and we were on the Hill with NASA in the Senate in the fall, and it keeps coming up. There are several questions about what’s being done to secure technology, the Internet of Things connectivity of the critical infrastructure. We said, ‘Why not talk about Gryphon X?” and so we did. We didn’t think the proposal would be placed on ice for this long.”
Scott said Gryphon X is a concept that could change the cybersecurity game, and a little friendly push to NASA would help drum up more interest.
