The Community
Europe Was Missing.
In 2019, as commercial space exploded and small satellite investments surged, CYSEC identified a critical gap: Europe had no dedicated forum for space cybersecurity. While the U.S. had satellite hacking contests and proactive conferences, Europe had nothing.
CYSAT was created to fill that void, and to give Europe its own institutional voice. Since 2021, it has grown into the world's biggest space cybersecurity gathering, and the primary community anchor point for this emerging discipline.
"Space is now a frontline in the global cybersecurity arena."
Who Takes the Stage
Agency directors, government leaders, hackers and researchers shaping the field.
Why This Matters
Now.
Space-based assets underpin every critical system on Earth. They are increasingly under attack.
GPS, financial transactions, emergency response, military coordination, internet connectivity: all depend on satellites. Disrupting them is now a viable attack vector in any major conflict.
The commercial space boom brought actors who build fast and ship fast, often without security by design. CYSAT addresses the collision between startup culture and nation state level adversaries.
The 2022 Viasat hack, a Russian cyberattack on satellite communications at the onset of the Ukraine invasion, proved the threat is real. Cyber incidents in space doubled in 2024 vs 2023.
As the US reorients its priorities, Europe must develop independent capability to protect its own orbital infrastructure, from Galileo to Copernicus to IRIS2, the EU's secure connectivity constellation.
