Hugh, who previously served in executive roles at IBM and Microsoft, is Executive Editor of The Journal of Cyber Policy.He is a Certified Information Security Manager (CSIM) who has worked in cybersecurity and enterprise technology for over twenty years.

Marc and Hugh speak about criminal threats affecting space industry and space as a national security issue. Their premise is that as space becomes increasingly commercialized, the potential for crime, corruption, and war outside of Earth’s confines becomes ever more pronounced. In their book, they discuss how to consider, analyze, and solve a variety of problems caused by bad actors involving space-based assets, e.g., how corruption, crime, piracy, and war can all rear their heads in the final frontier—and what we can do about it today.

Their insights about the risks of piracy and crime in space are relevant to audiences that span multiple fields, including finance, insurance, aerospace, space commerce, and national security.

Feldman and Taylor are available to speak as a pair, as part of a panel, or on an individual basis.
