Interesting effort. I do think their Expected Ideas, perpetuate the presumptions that cause security issues in the first place.

Data and link security,
Ground and space equipment security,
Protection of classified information,
Keys management through full life cycle,
Monitoring, situational awareness and forensic analysis of cyber-attacks,
Technological enablers and transversal building blocks.

The most interesting thing I've found over the last 18 months is how few CISOs and secdevops people actually know what they are protecting, and from whom. Their worldview seems to end at, "the business!" which is a black box to them.
Often, the sophistication and complexity of security technologies subtly moves risk out of the domain of business owners, and onto operations staff who aren't equipped to hold or meaningfully mitigate it, and the effect is that we're left with transferring risk to empty compliance rituals, or a company security troll who can be periodically scape-goated.
I've got a horse in this race, but the solution is not for techs to educate business partners on security, but for owners to align their teams around the business risks that actually matter and let techs do what they do best, which is solve problems.
ESA would benefit most from a tool that educated all their engineers and product owners on the things the agency and projects value, and the risks to them it perceives.
- youdontknowtho 8y agoWow. That is the most well informed security comment I think I have ever read on this site. There are multiple ways that business will push risk onto tech employees. This seems to be really prevalent in highly decentralized businesses where tech can't push back on decisions and the business unit can't really judge overall risk to the entire enterprise. It goes beyond security or, maybe more accurately, security and risk are more expansive than just technical security measures.
