Space Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Space ISAC) is pleased to announce that Crosshill has joined the organization as a member. Crosshill’s participation further strengthens Space ISAC’s trusted community of public- and private-sector organizations working together to protect the global space ecosystem from evolving security risks
Crosshill’s membership reinforces Space ISAC’s role as the only all-threats security information source for the space sector. As a member, Crosshill will contribute to Space ISAC’s efforts to deliver timely, actionable data and analysis on vulnerabilities, incidents, and threats to space assets, while supporting preparedness, response, mitigation, and long-term resilience across the industry.
“Space ISAC’s value is driven by the breadth of perspectives and capabilities within our member community,” said Erin Miller, Executive Director of Space ISAC. “Crosshill’s deep experience in secure microelectronics, anti-tamper technologies, and trusted hardware meaningfully enhances our ability to help the space sector anticipate, withstand, and respond to cyber and supply chain threats.”
Crosshill designs, tests, and manufactures highly secure electronic systems for defense, aerospace, telecommunications, and space applications. The company brings extensive experience in advanced microelectronics that form the foundation of secure communications and cryptographic systems, along with anti-tamper services spanning silicon, sensor, and mechanical-level protection. These capabilities are critical to safeguarding classified information and sensitive intellectual property from backdoors, system manipulation, and counterfeit components. These capabilities are critical to safeguarding defense and critical infrastructure electronics and the chip architectures that drive them from hardware-level attacks.
Furthermore, Crosshill CEO Jouni Hautamäki remarked, “We are delighted to join the Space ISAC as part of our contributions to the space community in collaboration with like-minded allies. Space assets connect those in every other domain to provide data that are vital to a functioning society. Both integrity and availability of this information are increasingly at risk. The valuable contributions and partnership of the Space ISAC will undoubtedly enhance our collective efforts to mitigate these threats.
Crosshill’s focus on secure hardware, assessments, and anti-tamper solutions aligns closely with Space ISAC’s mission to foster trusted collaboration and improve threat awareness throughout the space system lifecycle. Together, Space ISAC and Crosshill look forward to advancing shared priorities such as supply chain security, hardware assurance, and addressing emerging cyber and physical threats to space systems, helping to build a more secure, resilient, and trusted space ecosystem.
BACKGROUND
Space Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC) is a 501(c)(6) organization that serves as the all-threats security information source for the public and private space sector. Our vision is to collectively protect global space systems to secure the future of humanity. Founded in 2019, Space ISAC became an official member of the National Council of ISACs in 2020. Space ISAC is also a member of the EU Council of ISACs. The Space ISAC Watch Center achieved initial operational capability in March 2023.
Space ISAC is located at the Kevin W O’Neil Cybersecurity Research and Education Building at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. The Space ISAC serves to facilitate collaboration across the global space industry to enhance our ability to prepare for and respond to vulnerabilities, incidents, and threats; to disseminate timely and actionable information among member entities; and to serve as the primary communications channel for the sector with respect to this information. After opening the Watch Center in 2023, member services include support for response, mitigation, and resilience initiatives, while breaking down communication silos of public-private information sharing.
