CySpace CCN: UK Cyber and Space Domain Awareness Capability Mapping Workshops

  • Aug 29
  • 2 min read

The CySpace Connected Capability Network are hosting a series of in-person regional workshops across the UK between May and September 2025. These workshops are part of a UK-wide mapping exercise of space domain awareness (SDA) and cyber security capabilities.


In the workshop, participants will learn about the CySpace CCN, meet other cyber security and SDA professionals in their region, and identify regional cyber security and SDA capabilities in order to map them to the CySpace cyber and SDA requirements catalogue, as will be made available.


While this workshop focuses on space and cyber, the themes of secure data sharing, resilience planning, AI innovation, and supply chain risk are highly transferable to digital health and care. NCC and the Cyspace CCN would greatly value perspectives from the health and care sector on how health innovation in Scotland can inform, and benefit from, Space Domain Awareness (SDA) and cyber resilience work.


Key themes include:


  1. Managing Security Risk Governance, including risk, asset, comms and data management, and supply chain analysis for physical and data assets.

  2. Protecting Against Cyber Attacks, including data and system security, data lifecycle and involved actors, resilience through backups and repositories, staff awareness and training and  service protection policies, processes and procedures.

  3. Detecting Cyber Security Events Security Monitoring, with proactive security event discovery, latency and remote access issues, AI and autonomous defence.

  4. Minimising the Impact of Incidents, including response, recovery, lessons learned, resilience through space assets and AI/autonomy solutions.


More on CySpace CCN


The programme is led by Space West and delivered in partnership with Frazer-Nash Consultancy, Space South Central, North West Space Cluster, Space North East, Space Wales, Space East and Space Northern Ireland as well as cyber clusters across the UK. The programme is funded and supported by the Satellite Applications Catapult as part of their Connected Capability programme. We aim to increase resilience of UK space infrastructure, bringing together partners from across industry, academia and government within SDA and cyber security to map capabilities and expertise that can be leveraged to create new products and address critical vulnerabilities.
