Advisory Board

The CyberSat Advisory Board is a selective group of leaders from the satellite, cybersecurity, IT, government, and academic communities who help shape the direction and content of the CyberSat program. Meeting five to six times a year, the board identifies key issues, trends, and emerging threats that are critical to securing space systems and data. Members contribute their expertise to develop sessions, recommend speakers, and guide new initiatives, ensuring CyberSat remains the premier forum for advancing space and cybersecurity collaboration.
