The Cyber Threat Landscape Is Escalating—Is Your MDR Keeping Up?

Previously presented on August 28, 2025

Ransomware is surging. Attacks are growing more sophisticated. AI is accelerating the pace and complexity of threats. And behind it all are well-funded, organized cybercriminal networks targeting organizations of every size—including U.S. State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT) governments. Yet while threats are growing, time, resources, and skilled personnel are not.

Most Managed Detection and Response (MDR) providers fall short—delivering vague alerts without context, and offering little relevance to the public sector. That’s not good enough anymore.

Join this webinar to learn how to do MDR differently. CIS offers CIS Managed Detection and Response™ (CIS MDR™)—a solution that is purpose-built for U.S. SLTTs. As a cost-effective add-on for paid MS-ISAC members, CIS MDR turns raw telemetry into clear, actionable alerts, helping you stay ahead of today’s relentless threat landscape.

By attending this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

Strengthen your cyber defense with the collective power of MS-ISAC’s community-driven ecosystem
Extend your team with 24x7x365 support from the CIS Security Operations Center (SOC)
Defend against ransomware, zero-day threats, and AI-driven attacks with industry-leading response times
