Your Trusted Hub For Actionable Threat Intelligence, Collaboration, And Incident Response
A Global Connected Security Resilience Ecosystem
IACI began as an effort to connect security professionals in all verticals of critical infrastructure to share threat intelligence and best practices.
Today, we are made up of diverse, yet interconnected communities of interest represented by ISACs and ISAOs all designed to increase our members’ security and information sharing capacity.
IACI Reducing Security Risk
Through Our Information Sharing Infrastructure, IACI Responds To Security Threats By Collecting, Analyzing, And Sharing Multi-Dimensional And Multi-Sector Intelligence.
IACI Supports Stakeholder Coordination Within And Across Critical Infrastructure Sectors.

Cybersecurity Center-Of-Gravity
An ISAC acts as a center of gravity because it serves as the essential nexus where disparate organizations converge to centralize, analyze, and disseminate critical threat intelligence. By overcoming competitive barriers and fostering trust, it draws valuable, often sensitive, information from its members, transforming isolated incidents into actionable insights for the entire sector. This gravitational pull of shared purpose and validated intelligence creates a powerful, unified defense mechanism that no single entity could achieve alone.
Breaking Down Long-Standing Barriers & Silos
An ISAC dismantles long-standing silos by building a foundation of trust and shared purpose, leveraging confidentiality frameworks and secure platforms to overcome competitive fears. It standardizes information exchange and fosters a culture of peer-to-peer collaboration, enabling members to learn from collective intelligence and adapt best practices. Ultimately, the ISAC provides a neutral, centralized hub for threat intelligence and coordinated response, uniting the sector against common adversaries for enhanced collective security.
Accelerating ‘Actionable’ Information Sharing
An ISAC accelerates actionable information sharing by providing a trusted, secure platform for members to rapidly submit and receive threat intelligence. It then centrally aggregates, validates, and enriches this raw data, translating isolated observations into contextualized, sector-specific alerts and IoCs. This process ensures that members receive timely, relevant, and directly applicable security insights, enabling quicker defensive actions and a more synchronized response across the entire community.
Advancing Security Resilience
An ISAC advances security resilience by fostering a collective defense ecosystem where members share diverse threat intelligence and best practices. This shared knowledge enables proactive identification and mitigation of vulnerabilities across the sector, strengthening individual organizations against attacks. By facilitating coordinated incident response, the ISAC ensures quicker recovery and adaptation, building a more robust and responsive security posture for the entire community.
Supported By Best Practice & Education
An ISAC supports best practices and education by serving as a central repository for vetted security guidance, lessons learned from real-world incidents, and effective mitigation strategies. ISACs facilitate peer discussions and expert-led webinars, allowing members to collaboratively refine their approaches and learn from collective experiences. This continuous exchange of knowledge elevates the overall security maturity and operational excellence across the entire sector.

Security Convergence Alignment
Physical, Cyber, Cyber-Physical
Geospatial – Undersea, Terrestrial Earth, Climate, Space
In today’s active security ecosystem, current ‘continuous monitoring’ practices represent only one aspect of understanding the multiple layers that must be identified as potential risks to an organization.
The best ‘PROACTIVE’ defense is the identification of and access to real-time all-hazards security intelligence.
Information sharing of ‘ACTIONABLE’ physical and cyber intelligence and analysis is key to promoting a strong defensive and coordinated response within and across critical infrastructure sectors, sub-sectors, government, and for public safety officials (law enforcement, fire, ems).
‘INFORMED’ defenders are empowered to protect multiple critical capabilities and functionality.
Global Critical Infrastructure Security Resilience
Critical Infrastructure
Public-private assets, systems, and networks, whether physical or virtual, that are so vital that incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect on global security, public health, safety, economic vitality, and environmental sustainability.
Security Resilience
A shared public-private responsibility to anticipate, withstand, adapt and recover rapidly from threats, attacks and adverse conditions.
