Cybersecurity Quarterly Spring 2026

The Spring 2026 issue of Cybersecurity Quarterly explores the theme of strength in numbers as it relates to how the Center for Internet Security^® (CIS^®), our members, and our partners are working together to make our connected world safer and more secure. Here's just some of the topics our articles cover:

• The shift from federal funding and the opportunities provided for state and local government organizations for leveraging the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center^® (MS-ISAC^®) to facilitate peer collaboration; receipt of threat intelligence specific to U.S. State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT) government organizations; and tailored cybersecurity services
• Securing U.S. SLTT organizations in the current threat landscape, including challenges from real world events, artificial intelligence, and distributed digital environments
• New resources published for CIS Critical Security Controls^® (CIS Controls^®) v8.1, including a new poster describing the CIS Controls as “The Foundation for Modern Cyber Defense,” the CIS Controls v8.1 Mobile Companion Guide, and a new workbook addressing the unique demands of industrial controls systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT)
