The Forgotten Frontiers: Why Satellites, Farms, and Physical Security Are Cyber's Next Battleground
Archived Webinar | March 19, 2026
While cybersecurity focuses heavily on enterprise IT, cloud infrastructure, and data breaches, entire sectors critical to human survival remain dangerously under-protected. This talk explores the overlooked cyber risks in agriculture technology, satellite systems, medical devices and healthcare infrastructure, physical security systems, and climate-monitoring networks. We’ll examine real-world incidents where these vulnerabilities were exploited, discuss why these sectors have been neglected by the security community, and explore the cascading consequences of attacks on GPS systems, precision farming equipment, medical IoT devices, environmental sensors, and physical access controls. As our world becomes increasingly interconnected, these “forgotten systems” represent critical attack surfaces with potential impacts far beyond traditional cybersecurity concerns — affecting food security, healthcare delivery, disaster response, and global infrastructure stability. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of these emerging threat landscapes and actionable perspectives on how the security and internal audit community should respond.
