The 2027 program focuses on two areas creating immediate security and operational questions across the space sector: the role of space systems in critical infrastructure resilience and the secure adoption of AI. Government briefings, expert panels and dedicated roundtables will examine how these challenges are changing architectures, operations and workforce requirements.
Securing the space-based communications, navigation, timing and data services that critical infrastructure depends on.
Applying zero trust principles across spacecraft, ground systems, networks, users and mission partners.
How Golden Dome for America may influence cybersecurity requirements, acquisition priorities and resilient space architectures.
Applying AI to detect anomalous and malicious activity across space, ground and user segments while maintaining human oversight.
Addressing risk across the models, training data, software, infrastructure and vendors supporting AI-enabled missions.
Preparing cyber and mission teams to deploy, govern and defend AI-enabled systems securely.
Topics reflect the direction of the 2027 program. Full agenda coming soon.
Direct insight into the cyber, defense and national security priorities shaping space programs in 2027.
A clearer view of emerging AI attack vectors, defensive applications and the controls required for secure adoption.
Small-group discussions where you can compare approaches, surface shared challenges and learn how peers are responding.
Direct access to security leaders from satellite operators, government agencies, defense organizations and technology providers.
Space systems, critical infrastructure and AI are becoming increasingly interconnected. CyberSat Exchange brings together the people responsible for securing all three.
