How the JPL works to secure its missions from adversaries
As a network architect I'm kind of surprised they couldn't answer basic questions such as "can someone sitting in a general user access segment (eg Cafeteria) access critical resource X by default?"<p>This is a fairly standard infosec method already in use for a long time (defense in depth, enclave-based security architectures, etc).<p>Not knocking them - JPL are wonderful people. If I had to guess they did not have funding for this prior, got caught (embarrassed) and now are correctly allocating resources to deal with the issue. Good news!
