As space becomes increasingly critical to national security, economic resilience and global connectivity, the threat landscape facing the sector is evolving at unprecedented speed. From cyber attacks and electronic warfare to supply chain vulnerabilities, AI enabled threats and the growing weaponisation of emerging technologies, space systems are now firmly on the front line of geopolitical competition bringing all entities into the cross hairs.

This panel brings together national and international leaders from across government, industry, academia and the security community to examine the current and future risks facing the space domain, and the actions required to strengthen resilience across the ecosystem. The discussion will explore how collaboration, threat intelligence sharing and collective defence models are becoming essential to protecting critical space infrastructure and services.
