CyberSat 2025 introduces two powerful new tracks built to meet the evolving demands of today’s cyber and national security professionals:
Together, they form a focused agenda designed to deliver actionable insights across the strategic and tactical spectrum of space cybersecurity.
This track explores the strategic, regulatory, and economic drivers shaping the cybersecurity of space systems. It focuses on evolving U.S. and allied government policy, including mandated frameworks like CMMC 2.0, and the growing imperative to secure space as a critical warfighting domain. With nation-state threats accelerating and space now central to national defense, government agencies have made clear that cyber-secure space systems are a top priority. Sessions in this track examine public-private collaboration, acquisition strategies, hybrid architectures, and the commercial sector’s expanding role in enabling mission assurance across the entire space enterprise.
Built for the cyber operators, engineers, and researchers securing space systems at the tactical edge, this track showcases hands-on techniques, real-world testing, and applied defenses — from on-board intrusion detection to purple teaming in orbit and space-specific zero trust architectures. With space assets increasingly targeted by nation-state actors and AI-enabled threats, expect deep dives on the methods being used now to harden satellite networks, ground infrastructure, and mission-critical data flows. Attendees will gain actionable intel on identity governance, anomaly detection, red-blue team integration, and next-generation cyber defense built for the orbital domain.
Join the only event that unites government and industry leaders to tackle today’s most sophisticated space-based cyber threats—with Classified Programming, a Space ISAC Crisis Simulation Tabletop Exercise, and technical content built for operators, engineers, and defenders on the front lines.
