The author attended HackSpaceCon 2025 in Cape Canaveral, where they spoke about bridging the knowledge gap between academia and industry regarding security education. The conference highlighted the significant work required to secure space applications, which is crucial for preventing critical errors that can halt an application or take down a rocket. The author emphasized the need to integrate security into computer science curricula as a core requirement, starting from the ground up, and providing practical, hands-on security education that mirrors real-world scenarios. A platform like Snyk Learn offers free, interactive security training that bridges this gap, focusing on real-world application security and shifting the approach from fixing problems after deployment to building security into the development process from the beginning. This is essential as we expand human presence beyond Earth and commercial space ventures proliferate, making security errors increasingly critical.
