Orbital observations: Enhancing space resilience with real-time cybersecurity
Deloitte
The world today relies on thousands of satellites, from GPS navigation and weather monitoring to national security. As we detailed in “Stellar safeguards,” these space systems are becoming more digitally enabled, networked, and interconnected with the cyber domain. They are also being progressively utilized across both government and commercial sectors, making space systems an increasingly crucial component of today’s way of life and a prime target for cyberattacks. As the satellite industry continues its unprecedented growth, with some estimates anticipating hundreds of thousands of satellites in orbit by 2030, the “attack surface” for cyberthreats is expected to increase.
Boosting space talent: Mapping gen AI’s impact on space jobs
Deloitte
The space industry is growing at around 7% annually, which translates into demand for new and diverse talent. More than 38,000 jobs have been added to the industry in the last seven years. These include roles traditionally associated with the industry, such as aerospace engineers, and expertise familiar to other sectors, like legal staff, accountants, and operations personnel. Despite this growth, or partly because of it, the space industry has struggled to attract and retain talent, due to shortages, an aging workforce, and other issues. As the industry grows further, human capital challenges will likely continue to shape its trajectory.
Perspectives Technology trends in the airline industry
Deloitte
From the day the Wright Brothers took off from Kitty Hawk, technology and innovation have been at the heart of the industry. More than a century later, this has not changed; however, the pace of disruption has. Today, airlines face constant pressure to meet customer expectations, regulatory requirements, and their own growth ambitions, while some continue to work on outdated legacy systems.

Reaping the rewards of the new space race
Deloitte
America’s decades-long leadership in space has helped our nation flourish, but the space industry’s spiraling growth will require the United States to adapt, which includes furthering international cooperation and adjusting investment strategies and regulations. It will take more than just one small step but the US can still produce giant leaps for humankind.
Accelerating the resurgence of American manufacturing
Deloitte
While America is a global leader in manufacturing and the future of US manufacturing looks brighter still, it is not a foregone conclusion. Through public-private partnerships, funding, and incentives, state and federal governments should continue to help strengthen US manufacturing competitiveness in the coming years by further addressing supply chains, talent, and manufacturing innovation.
Technological Solutions for Business Innovation
Deloitte
It has been another unprecedented year. The pace of technological innovation has hit warp-speed: AI-powered virtual reality experiences are pushing the boundaries of entertainment and education; meanwhile, we discover new drugs and decrypt spy codes with the power of quantum computing.
But as extraordinary as these developments are, their flashiest uses—the ones that grab the most headlines—are actually quite niche. The average American doesn't have much practical use for cutting-edge virtual reality experiences or quantum codebreakers. Which is why some of the most exciting applications for cutting-edge technology in 2023 lie in the unexpectedly ordinary—and that’s exactly where two organizations are leaning in.
