According to him, he will be responsible for all aspects of Maxar’s cybersecurity, including monitoring and securing the company’s attack surface, ensuring that on-orbit and mission systems are secure and upholding the integrity of geospatial insights delivered to customers.
“I’ve worked for a dozen or so companies in my 30-plus year career, and Maxar is unlike any of them. Through the geospatial insights they provide… [They are] helping governments make tough decisions, monitoring critical climate change trends [and] making our nation more secure,” remarked Laudermilch.
