DLR GfR at CySat Paris 2026: Strengthening Cybersecurity for Mission-Critical Space Operations

As a sponsor of CySat Paris 2026, DLR GfR joined leading experts from across the space and cybersecurity sectors to discuss one of the industry’s most pressing challenges: securing space systems in an increasingly connected environment.

A key highlight of the event was the keynote presentation by DLR GfR Managing Director Rolf Kozlowski, titled “Defending the Command Hub: Security for Mission-Critical Control Centers.” The session focused on the cybersecurity requirements of modern satellite operations and explored strategies for protecting mission-critical control centres against evolving cyber threats.

As satellite systems become more interconnected and digitalized, cybersecurity plays a vital role in ensuring the resilience, availability and integrity of space infrastructure. Drawing on DLR GfR’s extensive experience in operating mission-critical systems, the keynote addressed practical approaches to strengthening operational security while maintaining reliable service delivery.

Beyond the keynote, CySat provided an excellent platform for exchanging ideas with industry partners, cybersecurity specialists and space operators. Discussions throughout the event highlighted the growing importance of resilience, collaboration and proactive security measures across the entire space ecosystem.

As a sponsor and participant, DLR GfR was proud to contribute to these conversations and share insights from its operational experience. We would like to thank everyone who visited our team in Paris, attended the keynote session and engaged in the valuable discussions that took place throughout the event.

We look forward to continuing the dialogue and working together to strengthen cybersecurity for the future of secure space operations.
