The SATCOM industry is entering a pivotal phase as cybersecurity risks accelerate alongside rapid advances in space‑based communications. Today, the move to cloud integration, multi‑orbit architectures, digital ground systems is opening the door to new capabilities for the industry while also expanding the number of points where cyberattacks can occur.

Looking ahead of CyberSat 2026, this roundtable will examine how commercial and government stakeholders are responding to these shifts and the challenges they face. As systems grow more interconnected, organizations must confront legacy vulnerabilities, uneven security practices and increasing pressure from new threats. This conversation will bring together key leaders from across the industry to discuss what it takes to stay ahead of emerging threats while managing operational complexity, the structural changes needed to protect next-generation networks, and the collaboration required across government and industry to defend against a new era of SATCOM cyber-threats.

The session will offer a clear view of where SATCOM cybersecurity stands today, the challenges shaping its future and the actions needed to build resilient, secure networks as global reliance on space‑based communications continues to expand across the globe.
