Get practical insight into the threats facing your systems, work through response scenarios, and meet the people tackling the same challenges. Unclassified and classified programs, November 2–5.
Save Your SeatIf you protect satellites, ground systems, or the missions they support, you need access to a forum that focuses on those challenges. CyberSat brings operators, engineers, researchers, government leaders, and security executives together to work through them.
On November 2–3 in Reston, two unclassified tracks connect technical decisions with business, policy, and mission priorities. The program continues November 4–5 in Chantilly with a separate TS/SCI Classified Program for eligible government, military, and industry attendees.
Hear how peers approach the problems you face. Ask questions in smaller discussions. Put your decision-making to the test in a tabletop exercise, and bring what you learn back to your team.
Hear from security leaders, researchers, and mission specialists across the unclassified and classified programs. These are some of the speakers joining you this November.
“CyberSat is a must-attend event. Finally, a group that understands the convergence of space and cyber and has speakers who will say the quiet parts out loud.”
Paul Maguire · CEO, Knowmadics
Use your time at CyberSat to examine the risks, compare approaches with peers, and decide what deserves attention when you return.
Understand where space systems are exposed and how practitioners approach detection, protection, and recovery. Connect the technical detail to the systems you are responsible for.
Meet someone who has worked through a similar challenge. Compare notes with a fellow operator, ask a researcher about their methods, or continue a session discussion with a government program lead.
Put technical choices in the context of mission needs, policy, and business risk. Two unclassified tracks help you assess what is relevant to your role and where your team should focus next.
You should not have to spend half a conversation explaining why space systems are different. At CyberSat, you can get into the details with people who understand the constraints, from satellite operations and mission assurance to security policy and incident response.
What worked? Where did an approach fall short? What would you do differently? CyberSat gives you opportunities to ask those questions and hear how other teams weigh their options. Smaller discussions let you spend more time on the details that matter to your work.
The November 2–3 unclassified program offers two tracks. Business, Policy & Partnerships connects security decisions with organizational and national priorities. Technology, Threats & Solutions examines the engineering, testing, and defense methods behind more resilient systems.
Continue November 4–5 at The Aerospace Corporation’s SCIF in Chantilly, VA, for briefings and operational discussions that require a classified setting. Eligible professionals from government, military, the intelligence community, and industry can add this program to their CyberSat registration. Capacity is limited, and classified registration closes October 16.

AI, in-space computing, and increasingly connected architectures bring new security questions. Use CyberSat to examine what these developments mean for your systems, where defenses need to adapt, and which assumptions deserve a closer look.
In the Space ISAC Crisis Simulation Tabletop Exercise on November 3, work through a realistic scenario with other space security professionals. Practice making response decisions, sharing information, and coordinating as the situation develops. The exercise is a $99 add-on with limited capacity and runs concurrently with other program activities.
