Space cybersecurity is entering a more complex operating environment, with threats, architectures and mission dependencies changing at once. At CyberSat, leaders, operators, and technical experts turn those challenges into practical insight for the systems and missions they protect.
Across four days, the program spans the Business, Policy & Partnerships and Technology, Threats & Solutions tracks, classified briefings, interactive discussions, and hands-on exercises.
For sponsors, select opportunities include speaking roles on strategic panels and in technical sessions.
As space systems become increasingly digitized and interconnected, the cyber threat landscape has expanded beyond traditional protections, exposing critical gaps in on-orbit detection and response capabilities. Today, many spacecraft lack onboard intrusion detection, relying instead on ground-based monitoring that introduces latency, limited visibility, and delayed response which are conditions that adversaries can exploit to achieve mission-impacting effects.
This presentation will highlight ongoing efforts by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) to address these challenges by developing and publishing actionable, open-source cybersecurity resources tailored for space systems. These efforts focus on lowering barriers to entry for industry and enabling practical implementation of cyber resilience capabilities across the space enterprise.
Specifics include:
These activities collectively support a shift from reactive, ground-centric cybersecurity models to proactive, onboard detection and response capabilities. By publishing these resources openly and aligning them with real-world threat behaviors, DHS S&T is enabling government, commercial, and international partners to accelerate the adoption of cyber-resilient architectures and move toward a more secure and defensible space domain

Situation Rooms have limited capacity and are on a first-come, first-served basis.
Cyber incident reporting requirements have proliferated raising complicated questions for investigators and legal teams regarding materiality determinations, attorney-client privilege, and law enforcement coordination issues. Beyond the initial incident reporting, organizations must address data loss and other unauthorized disclosures of data that often have time sensitive deadlines for reporting, present resource challenges, and are often difficult to balance with other business needs. This presentation will explore business challenges and solutions for managing cyber reporting requirements.

Situation Rooms have limited capacity and are on a first-come, first-served basis.
Cybersecurity requirements for satellite ground infrastructure are rapidly evolving as governments and regulators introduce new compliance frameworks designed to protect critical communications infrastructure. Standards such as EN 18031 cybersecurity standard in Europe and the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework in the United States are expected to significantly impact how teleport operators design, operate, and secure their networks.
