The presentation will provide insight on critical infrastructure's growing over dependencies on GPS Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) signals and how to understand the risk and risk mitigation associated with those dependencies.

This session will cover:

  • Accidental and intentional threats to GPS signals
  • Alternative timing sources
