Where Space Cyber Threats Are Confronted—Behind Closed Doors
The CyberSat Classified Program is a rare, closed-door event where TS/SCI-cleared professionals from the Department of Defense, intelligence community, and critical industry sectors gather to exchange real intelligence, dissect recent incidents, and collaborate on next-gen cyber defense strategies.
Held in at The Aerospace Corporation’s SCIF in Chantilly, VA, with limited seating, this is one of the most in-demand sessions of the entire event—and for good reason. It’s the only space where sensitive threat vectors, classified attack scenarios, and advanced mitigation tactics are openly addressed in a secure environment.
If you hold a TS/SCI clearance and work at the intersection of space and cybersecurity, this program is essential to staying ahead of the threat. Space is contested. The adversary is evolving. Don’t miss your seat at the table.
Clearance Required. Capacity Limited.
