The IT SCC has five standing working groups. 

Cloud Security Working Group
The Cloud Security working group would look to build off of work completed over the last two years, including a focus on providing guidance for government and critical infrastructure transitions to cloud environments.  In addition, the working group can provide input to CISA as it looks to move more federal civilian agency security services into the cloud. 


Emerging Technologies Working Group
The Emerging Technologies working group is intended to cover any new and emerging technologies being utilized or implemented across US Government agencies and critical infrastructure for which security is a concern including but not limited to 5G, Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing.  The ITSCC would provide advice and guidance to DHS and/or other relevant agencies based on industry views and expertise. 

Operational Technology Working Group
The Operational Technology (OT) working group is intended to convene IT SCC members who are also active in the Operational Technology space, including OT manufacturers, system integrators and OT cyber services providers, to address the unique dimensions of OT in critical infrastructure security and resilience.

Small and Medium Size Businesses Working Group 
The SMB Working Group will focus on identifying challenges and opportunities facing IT sector SMBs in areas including, but not limited to: adoption of cybersecurity best practices in industry and government such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, COVID-19 and its impact on the IT SMB community, supply chain risk assessment, management and governance, emerging technologies (e.g. 5G) and implications for IT SMBs; providing insights and recommendations that help government and industry enhance planning and policy development activities; and developing resources that are useful for the IT SMB community.


State, Local, Tribal, Territorial Government Working Group 
The state, local, territorial, and tribal (SLTT) working group identifies key trends such as software defined networking, device consolidation, and hyperscale computing that can help resource-constrained SLTT governments implement IT modernization and cybersecurity enhancements. Construct use cases that explain these technologies in a vendor-agnostic fashion and demonstrate how these capabilities can be applied to a range of SLTT missions to enhance efficiency and security.
