RETURN TO SESSION LIST

Date: Wednesday, September 16, 2026
Time: 3:55 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Location: Windsong 3-4

Exploring the intersection between the broad fields of cybersecurity and PNT by presenting questions like: "How do we secure PNT and/or assure location-based privacy as cloud computing, universal connectivity, pervasive low-cost devices such as wearables, and geolocated IoT devices continue to proliferate?" Embedded PNT can create cyber vulnerabilities within a system, but on the flip side, "Can PNT, properly managed, improve a system's cyber security posture?" On both sides of the conversation, challenges like AI, autonomy, privacy, and enterprise management are changing the dialogue.
