EU Space Information Sharing and Analysis Centre (ISAC) holds inaugural Board Meeting

Stemming from the EU Space Strategy for Security and Defence and facilitated by the European Commission and the EU Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA), the EU Space ISAC is a collaborative initiative for EU space sector companies to foster exchanges, raise awareness and share best practices to strengthen their security.

This cooperation, within the private ecosystem but also with public entities, aims at improving the overall resilience of the EU space sector and thus better prevent, tackle and mitigate security-related challenges, including cybersecurity.

The 1st Board Meeting was co-chaired by the European Commission and EUSPA, joined by 12 Founding Members representing both large industrial groups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from across the European Union.

During their two-year term, Founding Members, who include Airbus Defence & Space, Cyberinflight, GMV, Infodas, Leonardo, OHB, Osmium, Priamos, Promethee, Satlantis, Thales Alenia Space, and Tecnobit, will be setting up the EU Space ISAC, integrating new Members and Public partners, and organizing the first activities.

Actions taken during the inaugural Board Meeting include agreeing to common rules for the functioning of EU Space ISAC and establishing a Working Group dedicated to Security & Cyber Threats.

EU Space ISAC’s call for new Participants remains open, with applications being accepted twice per year.

The cutoffs for 2024 are 30 April and 31 October. Companies from the EU and Norway of all sizes, along with public partners, are encouraged to apply.
