Cybersat26

Space systems now form the backbone of critical infrastructure – from energy grids to autonomous transportation. CyberSat is the only forum where the operators, officials, and engineers actively defending those systems meet for four days a year.

Now in its 10th year, CyberSat is where the security and resilience of space systems gets treated as what it is: a foundational requirement for societal continuity. Space is no longer passive infrastructure, it drives autonomous transportation, smart energy grids, disaster response, and defense operations. Two dedicated programs deliver the practitioner intelligence needed to protect those dependencies, with no product pitches – just mission-critical decisions.

  • Classified & unclassified sessions with government, military, and industry leaders
  • Deep-dive technical tracks on LEO/MEO/GEO vulnerabilities and AI-driven threats
  • Live tabletop crisis simulation exercise hosted by Space ISAC
  • Keynotes from senior DoD, Space Force, and intelligence community leaders
  • Practitioner-first forum, no product pitches, just mission-critical intelligence
  • As space systems become software-defined and digitally interconnected, CyberSat is where those challenges get addressed head-on, by the operators, cleared professionals, and senior officials who are actively defending live systems
