SmallSat launch services provider Vaya Space announced their strategic partnership with C8 Secure to provide turn-key cybersecurity solutions for the space industry. In addition, Vaya Space has agreed to provide launch services to Continent 8 Technologies, the parent corporation of C8 Secure, as they develop and implement plans to create a new satellite constellation to augment their global network of data centers.

Space-based systems and regulatory frameworks represent unique new challenges, and we are up to the task, drawing upon our history of security and compliance success."

With cybersecurity needs becoming more complex, modern solutions are needed more than ever. C8 Secure is building one of the most comprehensive, multi-layered cyber defense systems fortifying their complete end-to-end solution leading their decision to create their own constellation using the aerospace company Vaya Space, with their world-class innovation, next-gen technology, and exact launch placements. The constellation will enable Continent 8 technologies to increase network footprint, availability, and performance.

Jack Blood, Vaya Space Vice President said, "World events emphasize the growing vulnerability to the physical and digital security of data networks.
