CIS Cyber Incident Response Team
A trusted, dedicated team of U.S.-based experts who helps public sector organizations to identify, contain, and remove active cybersecurity threats.
Cyber Incident Response for the Public Sector
The Center for Internet Security® (CIS®) Cyber Incident Response Team (CIRT) is a complimentary benefit of membership to the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center® (MS-ISAC®).
It maintains a partner-focused mission to assist U.S. State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT) governments. CIS CIRT nurtures its trusted reputation in the community for exhibiting care, competency, and expertise in cyber incident response planning, forensic services, and advanced analysis tailored to U.S. SLTT organizations and their unique environments.
Embedded in a U.S. SLTT Community Defense Ecosystem
CIS CIRT ensures U.S. SLTT organizations benefit from a unified, purpose-built defense, bringing together specialized expertise across the MS-ISAC to deliver fast, accurate threat identification and response tailored to their unique environments.
Here are two examples of what this collaboration looks like:
- Around-the-clock monitoring and triage through the 24x7x365 U.S.-based CIS Security Operations Center (SOC) means potential threats are identified, verified, and escalated quickly, reducing dwell time and enabling faster protection of critical services.
- Continuous coordination with Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) and Multi-Dimensional Threats (MDT) team experts ensures U.S. SLTT organizations receive timely, relevant insights, so they can act on threats that matter most without needing to interpret complex intelligence on their own.
As a result, organizations spend less time navigating threats alone and experience greater confidence that risks are being addressed by experts who understand U.S. SLTT priorities.
