Novaspace is a consulting firm focused entirely on the space sector, a domain where the attack surface isn't just digital - it's orbital. Founded in 1983, the firm provides strategic, market, and technical expertise to governments, space agencies, and commercial operators. That means threat modeling for satellite communications, analyzing vulnerabilities in Earth observation data pipelines, and navigating the dual-use nature of defense and exploration technologies.
The team of around 130 professionals, drawn from 25 nationalities, operates from hubs in Paris, Bangalore, the US, UK, Germany, and Italy. Their work spans management consulting, technology consulting, and market intelligence - essentially, they map the commercial and geopolitical landscape that determines how space assets are built, launched, secured, and operated. They also run executive summits that convene the sector's leadership.
For cybersecurity professionals, the relevance is concrete: space systems are critical infrastructure, and Novaspace sits at the intersection where policy, technology, and market pressure collide. Their analysis informs decisions about securing satellite links, protecting ground segment networks, and assessing supply chain risks in an industry where a compromised component has consequences that are literally above the atmosphere.
