This Monthly report is part of CyberInflight’s commercial intelligence services and was created for people and organizations who want to stay informed without having to follow the news week after week. It offers a clear, structured view of the month’s most important market, geopolitical, and threats developments

October has been shaped by major quantum initiatives, renewed investment plans, and growing concerns about space competitiveness. The edition also includes an analyst article on Regulating the New Direct-to-Device Frontier, a topic that is becoming increasingly relevant across the industry.

Each Monthly comes with a 30-minute webinar hosted by our team. It is an opportunity to explore the main topics in more detail, ask questions, and understand the broader implications for the ecosystem.

One of the standout moments was the Capture The Flag (CTF) competition, brilliantly organised by the European Space Agency – ESA with the support of the D-Orbit team, who provided access to 3 actual orbiting platforms, Leaf Space, for the provision of the ground network, and the expertise of the famous mackeroni team, who designed a set of 25 cybersecurity challenges 🕵️‍♂️
Among the challenges run in orbit, the teams tackled: binary exploitation, reverse engineering, cryptography, web vulnerabilities, radio communication, and space-math tasks 🌌🚀

Kudos to the 🏆 Superflat team 🏆 and the CTF organizers!

🛰️💡 Dear network 🚀⚔️
🌌 Exciting times at the Software Defined Space Conference, SDSC, Tallinn, Estonia!

🇪🇪 Estonia stands out as a vibrant hub for space technology and entrepreneurship. The energy, ambition, and collaboration here truly highlight the vitality of the Estonian community!

💸With its minimal corporate tax (0% corporate tax on reinvested profits 😱) and digital-first environment, Estonia continues to empower entrepreneurs to grow and innovate, especially in the space industry.

Kudos to the SDSC team for an outstanding conference!

Following the success of our Space Intelligence Watch, CyberInflight expands its analytical coverage with the launch of the Cyberdefense Monthly Watch.
This new intelligence product follows the same structure (Geopolitics, Market, Threat, Regulation, Technology & Training) while extending its scope to the 5 domains of warfare: land, air, sea, space, and cyber.
Each month, the Cyberdefense Monthly Watch offers a cross-domain analysis of key priorities such as drones and autonomous systems, emerging threats, and the convergence between cyber and electronic warfare. The Watch is available in French and in English!

💡 Our goal: to deliver a transversal understanding of how multi-domain evolutions are reshaping military systems, operations, and the strategic balance.

🛰️💡 Dear network 🚀⚔️
🌟🌟Our Report is out: “Space Cybersecurity Market Intelligence, Edition 2025”

As space becomes an unprecedented strategic and dual-use domain, space cybersecurity has never been more critical. Cyberthreats against the space sector are evolving and adapting rapidly, driven by increasingly complex geopolitical tensions.

Our latest 370-page market intelligence report offers an unprecedented overview of this fast-changing topic:
⚔️Cyberattacks become more complex and converge toward the electromagnetic field, increasing asymmetry between offensive and defensive actions.
📈The space-cybersecurity market is following a double-digit growth, reflecting unprecedented momentum for security solution providers
⚖️The regulatory ecosystem is taking shape, despite geopolitical uncertainties and difficulties in finding a consensus
🛠️A combination of technological push and market pull facilitates the adoption of cybersecurity solutions
⚛️Quantum technologies remain high on the agenda for the years to come as a strategic priority for future space infrastructures and communications
🪖The duality of space has never been more pronounced

The report provides public and private decision-makers a clear view of the threat landscape, market opportunities, and trajectories shaping this sector. Space is more than a new frontier: it is a field of conflictuality, innovation, and competition, where cybersecurity now plays a central role.

With several new cyber frameworks taking shape, studying their impact on the SATCOM ecosystem is crucial. To address this need, CyberInflight is proud to collaborate with European Space Agency – ESA and OHB Digital Connect GmbH in the Cybersecurity Makerspace project!

Earlier this year, CNES published its Cybersecurity Hygiene Guide for Orbital Systems, and we’re taking a closer look at one of its key elements: the regulatory map we helped create to guide space stakeholders through evolving European and international requirements.
With the EU Space Act proposal published in late June 2025, this framework is more relevant to understand the ecosystem clearly.

Rather than just being a list of rules, this framework brings together:
🌍 Leading international cybersecurity standards
🇪🇺 European and 🇫🇷 French legislative frameworks
💡 Practical insights and lessons learned from across the space sector

Why does this matter?
Because as cyber-threats grow more sophisticated and regulations evolve, space operators need a clear, reliable reference point. This framework helps them anticipate change, stay compliant, and speak the same “security language” across the entire ecosystem.
In an era where space is both a frontier and a target, having a shared regulatory foundation is key to safeguarding sovereignty and building resilience.

A huge thank you to CNES for their trust, and to every contributor who helped shape this essential step for the future of space cybersecurity.

Yesterday, the European Commission published the long-awaited proposal for the EU Space Act, establishing a comprehensive regulatory framework to strengthen the resilience, safety, and sustainability of space activities across the Union.

🛰️ 📢 🚀 CyberInflight is proud to have contributed its space cybersecurity expertise to this critical initiative! We sincerely thank the European Commission for referencing our work on page 6 of the proposal on the impact assessment report.

A particularly important element of the EU Space Act is its strong focus on cybersecurity. Space operators will be required to carry out lifecycle risk assessments, apply tailored cybersecurity measures, and establish proper incident reporting protocols. This is a clear recognition that cyber-threats are now a fundamental challenge to space systems, and must be addressed with the same level of rigor as physical and operational risks.
