As we advance toward the New Space Era, the space cybersecurity sector calls for deep, multidisciplinary research to stay ahead of evolving threats. To accomplish Space Cyber Resiliency, research must uncover the full scope of the attack surface and underlying technologies, enabling secure system design and architectural resilience. In doing so, practitioners strengthen essential cybersecurity skills—critical thinking, adaptive problem-solving, and geopolitical awareness—while learning to translate complexity into actionable solutions. Space research trains professionals to think strategically under uncertainty, refine threat modeling, and operate across domains. This talk explores how research at the edge of space not only supports national defense and commercial innovation, but also sharpens the mindset required for tomorrow’s cybersecurity leaders, transforming the sword of defense into the pen of research and innovation.
