Countering cyber threats from China and Russia, protecting the supply chain, the roles and risks of artificial intelligence, and developing the next generation of cyber experts in the workforce were just some of the topics covered at the 7th annual SSC Cyber Expo hosted by USSF’s Space Systems Command (SSC).
