Cyber & Space – Space: a New Arena for Tension, Cooperation, Commercialisation and Cyber Threats

1 OCTOBER 2026 | 6.30–8.00 PM | Rennes | Registration required

The « Before »

Designing, manufacturing and operating reusable spacecraft powered by disruptive ion propulsion: this is the challenge that the teams at Osmos X are on the verge of meeting. An innovation that is opening up new possibilities for orbital mobility and operations in space.

The Panel Discussion

Space: A New Strategic Dimension and Cybersecurity Challenges

Behind a satellite, a drone, a space station, an infrastructure, a dataset or a service lie issues of geopolitics, sovereignty, economics, innovation and crime.

The combined perspectives of our experts will take us from theory to real-world challenges, putting the impact of these issues on cybersecurity into perspective and helping to answer the following questions: What types of attacks? What motivations, vectors and vulnerabilities? What needs to be protected? And how?

Cyber Thursdays

On the first Thursday of every month, the CyberSchool Consortium hosts Cyber Thursdays, a series of round-table discussions at the heart of the Beaulieu campus in Rennes. Experts share their experiences and unpack the challenges and realities of information systems security. The aim is to offer students a hands-on immersion into the world of cybersecurity, enriching their academic journey. Selected partner organisations are also invited to attend these round tables (by invitation).
