Watch Center expansion in Australia and future sites around the globe will enhance real-time threat intelligence to defend against cyber attacks

NEW YORK, Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Vehicle navigation systems, cellphone weather apps, TV broadcasts and myriad other technologies depend on satellites, which are increasingly becoming targets for cyber threats. To help shield satellites from cyberattacks, Deloitte is enabling the global expansion of the Space Information Sharing and Analysis Center’s (Space ISAC) Watch Center with a new Watch Center Hub in Australia. The Watch Center Hubs will provide a global view of real-time threat intelligence and additional cybersecurity safeguards.

“There are more than 10,000 satellites in orbit today, and many have fewer cybersecurity safeguards than the average smartphone or personal computer,” said Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Chris Weggeman, managing director, Deloitte & Touche LLP. “When cyberattacks occur, time is of the essence, so the ability to quickly identify cyber threats to space is a mission imperative. The Watch Center Hubs Deloitte is enabling are equipped with a dedicated team of specialists who use cutting-edge technologies to quickly identify vulnerabilities and threats, protecting satellites — and the data they store and share – across the globe.”

The Space ISAC is a coalition of public and private organizations leading efforts to enhance global cybersecurity and threat sharing. Deloitte is a founding board member of the Space ISAC that played a pivotal role with opening the first Space ISAC Watch Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 2023. Deloitte is committed to enhancing the Watch Center capabilities and helping build them out across the globe.

Deloitte’s space practice has more than a decade of experience serving the space industry across defense, intelligence and the private sector. Deloitte professionals provide data strategy and organizational design to support and enhance cyber defense, resiliency of in-orbit data, and integrated cyber and space operations.

“Our modern way of life depends on services provided by space,” said Ryan Roberts, principal, Deloitte & Touche LLP and a cyber risk leader. “This dependency continues to grow as the number of satellites is expected to increase to 100,000 by the end of the decade. Cyber and space are inextricably linked, making the Space ISAC’s focus on the resiliency of our space assets a critical mission and one Deloitte is proud to support.”

Meetings and networking activities strengthen Costa Rica’s presence among investors.

SAN JOSÉ, Costa Rica, Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Costa Rican Foreign Trade Promotion Agency (PROCOMER) has intensified its efforts to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) by participating in four key events: the Web Summit 2024 in Lisbon, Portugal; the Caribbean Hotel Investment Conference & Operations Summit (CHICOS) in the Caribbean; the MEDICA trade fair in Düsseldorf, Germany; and SEMICON Europa in Munich, Germany.

Held from November 11 to 14, 2024, these events were part of PROCOMER’s strategy to position Costa Rica as an ideal destination for investment in strategic sectors: information and communication technologies (ICT), tourism infrastructure, medical devices, and semiconductors.

PROCOMER organized meetings with potential investors and representatives from strategic industries at each of these events. Additionally, networking activities were conducted to showcase Costa Rica’s business opportunities and foster direct connections with companies. These efforts were complemented by prospecting strategies to identify and attract potential leads.

“These events are essential to our strategy of diversifying and positioning Costa Rica in the international market. PROCOMER’s participation reinforces the country’s global presence and allows us to secure new investment opportunities that will generate high-quality jobs and strengthen high-value-added sectors in Costa Rica,” said Mónica Umaña, PROCOMER’s Investment Manager.

Event Highlights

MEDICA Trade Fair
From November 11 to 14, Costa Rica was present at MEDICA, held at Messe Düsseldorf, Germany. This is one of the world’s most important events for the life sciences sector, with a focus on medical devices. PROCOMER hosted a booth where meetings with potential investors were scheduled. The event strategy included networking activities and direct meetings with MedTech companies, strengthening Costa Rica’s position as a hub for advanced manufacturing and medical technology.

According to PROCOMER, this sector experienced significant growth of 13% between January and September 2024, reaching $6.288 billion in exports. Medical devices such as needles, catheters, and surgical instruments drove this growth with notable increases in export value.

Web Summit 2024
In Lisbon, Portugal, PROCOMER participated in Web Summit 2024, one of the most influential events in the tech sector, bringing together technology leaders, startups, and investors. This platform allowed Costa Rica to position itself as a competitive destination for investments in advanced technology and high-value-added services, highlighting the country’s advantages in infrastructure and a highly skilled workforce in fields such as artificial intelligence, telecommunications, and digital development.

The ICT and business services sector has been a key driver of service export growth, excluding travel, accounting for 53% of total service exports in the first half of 2024.

Electronica and SEMICON Europa
From November 12 to 15, Costa Rica participated in Electronica and SEMICON Europa, two of the most relevant global events for advanced manufacturing and microelectronics, held at Messe Munich, Germany. This year, PROCOMER’s booth focused on attracting FDI in the semiconductor and electronics sectors.
