About the Program

The room the Unclassified Program can’t be.

Held inside The Aerospace Corporation’s TS/SCI-accredited SCIF in Chantilly, VA, the Classified Program convenes senior cleared professionals from DoD, the intelligence community, and critical industries for two days of substantive, closed-door exchange.

Sessions cover active threat intelligence, real incident analysis, and operational lessons that cannot be discussed in an unclassified setting. What’s said in the room stays in the room.

Why Attend

What makes this different.

  • 01

    Real intelligence. No filter.

    A TS/SCI-accredited SCIF means presenters share what actually happened: classified threat data, active incident analysis, and lessons learned that never reach an open forum.

  • 02

    Every attendee is cleared.

    Active TS/SCI clearance is required to enter. That shared context creates a level of candor and technical depth simply not possible anywhere else in the community.

  • 03

    A focused, high-signal room.

    The facility limits attendance, creating a more focused, higher-signal environment. Seats fill early every year. This is among the most selective events in national security space.

What Gets Addressed

The threats that can’t be named in public.

The Classified Program covers the full spectrum of space cyber threats at the level of detail the mission demands.

Nation-state TTPs targeting U.S. and allied space assets
Active incident analysis from the people who responded
NSIC counterspace cyber threat briefings
Cyber hardening of operational space systems
Supply chain risk at classified program depth
Cyberwarfare in military space operations
Cislunar and deep space cyber threats
Cyber resilience across the launch era
