Information Sharing Working Group (ISWG)
Open to: Members
ISWG is a permanent working group authorized and established by the Board of Directors, responsible for direction and oversight of the Space ISAC Watch Center, developing policies and best practices. This group periodically sets member subgroups to solve challenges facing the space industry, including IA Pre and space systems designation as critical infrastructure.
Analyst Working Group (AWG)
Open to: Members and Partners
AWG is a virtual forum comprised of S-ISAC staff and member intel threat analysts, focus is on collaborative efforts to understand and analyze recurring threats and establish best practices to improve our collective ability to provide the best possible threat analysis to member organizations.
Task Forces
Space ISAC Summit Task Force
Open to: Members
Members assist to develop the agenda and working sessions for the annual Space ISAC Value of Space Summit (VOSS).
Space Innovation Test Bed (SITB) Task Force
Open to: Members
The Space Innovation Test Bed (SITB) is a diverse environment operated by Space ISAC members. It enables the categorization and development of enhanced space capabilities and protections within five specialized labs. These labs include the Data Mine Lab, Space Innovation Lab, Cyber Vulnerability Lab, Electromagnetic Lab, and Supply Chain Risk Management Lab.
Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) Task Force
Open to: Members and Partners
The SBOM Task Force is dedicated to advancing the implementation, standardization, and operationalization of Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) within the space industry.
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Interference & Space Weather Task Force
Open to: Members and Partners
This group aims to establish, integrate and deliver operational impact relevancy and correlations related to Space Weather through fusion of data feeds and visualizations, tools, member platform data sources and exercises to the Space ISAC community.
Exercise Task Force

The LEO Owner Operators Affinity Group provides a forum for sharing security architecture, detection, and paths to identify threats and security concerns among commercial LEO Owner Operators.
Cislunar Affinity Group
Open to: Members and Partners
Members and government partners meet as current and future cislunar space actors to identify challenges and recommend solutions. Discussions raise awareness on the need for solutions in cislunar space.
StandUps
Signals and Space Cell Standup
Open to: Members
This group aims to bridge the signals and space cells with Space ISAC members contributing their insights and viewpoints on anomalous behavior and attacks against their infrastructure. Participants contribute to the reporting of the signals and space cells in the Space Watch Center that is driven by intelligence requirements.
All-Source & Terrestrial Standup
Open to: Members
This group aims to bridge the all-source and terrestrial cells with Space ISAC members contributing their insights and viewpoints on cyber attacks, incidents, and vulnerabilities against their infrastructure. Participants contribute to the reporting of the all-source and terrestrial cells in the Space ISAC Watch Center that is driven by intelligence requirements.
