This edition examines cyber threats through the lens of two very different satellite players — maritime service provider Marlink, and Earth Observation (EO) company Kuva Space. Earlier this year, Marlink created a new company, Marlink Cyber, to deliver dedicated cybersecurity services. S3 spoke with its new president about the strategic shift and how growing demand for bandwidth is increasing risk.

The CyberSat 2025 agenda is quickly taking shape, with 22+ speakers confirmed across the Unclassified and Classified programs — including experts from USSF, DARPA, NRO, DOD, NOAA, NASA, NSA, and DHS. Track 2 agenda is also live, with new updates rolling in as speakers continue to confirm. Preview the latest updates here.
