NASA’s New Facility Boosts Cybersecurity

NASA’s Katherine Johnson Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) Facility is significantly expanding its focus on cybersecurity as part of its ongoing mission to ensure the safety and integrity of NASA operations. Traditionally, the IV&V Facility concentrated on examining software for potential glitches and failures before mission launches. However, with cybersecurity becoming an increasingly critical concern, the facility is now incorporating comprehensive cybersecurity assessments into its services. This shift aims to address and mitigate potential digital threats that could impact NASA missions.

Manny Cordero, Deputy Lead for the Safety and Mission Assurance Support office at NASA IV&V, highlighted the facility’s evolution in integrating cybersecurity expertise with traditional software engineering roles. The facility now independently assesses the design, architecture, and security structures of space systems, focusing on network systems, industrial control systems, and federally mandated cybersecurity directives. This broader perspective helps to identify and manage risks, particularly those that could affect astronaut safety and mission integrity.

Over the past decade, NASA IV&V has been proactively analyzing ground system cybersecurity to understand how different components interact and to identify potential threats. This comprehensive approach has been crucial for managing the diverse range of missions that NASA undertakes. With a dedicated team of around 12 cybersecurity professionals, the facility continues to expand its services, reflecting its growing role in safeguarding NASA’s technological and operational assets.

In addition to its cybersecurity enhancements, NASA IV&V is also focused on educational outreach and workforce development. Jess White, the facility’s education specialist and internship coordinator, emphasized the importance of preparing the next generation of cybersecurity professionals through summer and year-long internships. By integrating cybersecurity learning into community outreach and educational programs, NASA IV&V aims to build a skilled workforce capable of addressing future cybersecurity challenges. This commitment to education and talent development underscores the facility’s dedication to maintaining robust mission security and supporting the broader cybersecurity community.
