A closed-door event where TS/SCI-cleared professionals from the DoD, intelligence community, and critical industries exchange intelligence and collaborate on next-generation space defense strategies that cannot be discussed in an open forum.
Register for CyberSat 2026Held inside The Aerospace Corporation’s TS/SCI-accredited SCIF in Chantilly, VA, the Classified Program is a two-day closed-door event for senior cleared professionals from DoD, the intelligence community, and critical space industries.
Sessions cover active threat intelligence, real incident analysis, and operational lessons that cannot be discussed in unclassified settings. Speakers share what actually happened, not what can be sanitized for a public audience.
Now in its 10th year, the CyberSat Classified Program is one of the only industry events in the country offering a dedicated two-day classified program inside an accredited facility. Attendance is strictly limited by the venue.
Four confirmed presentations from national laboratory, government research, and commercial engineering leaders. Additional speakers will be announced.
The Classified Program has run alongside CyberSat for a decade. The professionals who attend once tend to return. Here is why.
Program managers, cleared engineers, and operators from active missions across DoD and the IC. People working the same problems, with the same constraints, and the same clearances. The conversations that start here tend to continue well past the closing session.
Presenters bring operationally relevant material and expect to be challenged. Attendees ask the questions they cannot ask in public forums. The format is built for working-level exchange, not broad coverage of topics that can be found elsewhere.
The program has run long enough that most people in the room already know each other. That history matters when a real incident happens and you need to make a call to someone at another agency. CyberSat is where those relationships started.
The Classified Program covers the full spectrum of space cyber threats at the level of detail the mission demands.
