About CYSEC

Sovereign security,
from Earth to Orbit.

CYSEC was founded in 2018 with a singular conviction: that critical infrastructure, whether on earth or in orbit, deserves security that is sovereign, verifiable and hardware based. We build the technology that lets governments, defense organizations and enterprises operate with confidence in any environment.

"CYber SECurity for every data state, everywhere: on earth and in space."

From Luxembourg, Toulouse and Lausanne, CYSEC delivers ARCA: a unique bridge between confidential computing and space grade security. We specialize in TMTC protection, Satcom acceleration and resilience. Since 2025, CYSEC is fully eligible for sovereign EU programs, including IRIS² and Galileo.
