At the LORCA Live online event, Rob Meyerson, founder and CEO at Delalune Space claimed that the commercial space industry needs support from the cybersecurity sector in order to build trust and resilience. Former employee of NASA and Blue Origin, Meyerson is now focused on investing in new businesses that aim to operate in the space sector. This more recently includes cybersecurity. As a society, we are already reliant on the space industry to run a number of important services, such as communication, navigation and timing, weather monitoring and the Internet of Things. He explained that “these systems as utilities [are] part of our critical infrastructure.”
With the way the industry is developing, we have reached a point where space will become a more commercial domain. Businesses will be able to build on top of already developed infrastructure. As a result, the costs of launch and satellites have dropped, opening up several new opportunities. Meyerson claims: “If you have a great idea you can build a space business, but you don’t necessarily have to invest in building the rocket or satellite.”
