Unlock MDR: Communal Defense as the Key to Endpoint Security
Tuesday, September 23, 2025 | 2:00 P.M. ET
Most Managed Detection and Response (MDR) providers are known for delivering two things: vague alerts and unanswered questions. They don't give you context to defend against a threat if you don't know about it first. Additionally, they don't focus on U.S. State, Local, Tribal and Territorial (SLTT) government organizations, so they can't notify you of alerts relevant to the public sector. There has to be another way to keep your endpoints safe.
Join this webinar to learn how to do MDR differently. The Center for Internet Security (CIS) has partnered with CrowdStrike and Sophos to release CIS Managed Detection and Response™ (CIS MDR™). Built for U.S. SLTTs as a cost-effective add-on for paid membership to the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC), CIS MDR transforms raw telemetry of signature- and behavior-based threats into clear-actionable alerts.
By attending this webinar, you’ll learn how to:
- Stay protected using the comprehensive and communal defense ecosystem of dues-paying MS-ISAC membership
- Extend your security team through CIS MDR by enlisting the 24x7x365 CIS Security Operations Center (SOC) as your full-time cyber defense partner
- Defend your endpoints against zero-day attacks, ransomware and more using the 24x7x365 CIS SOC's industry-leading response time
You must be an MS-ISAC member to take advantage of MDR services. Please reach out if you are interested in obtaining an MS-ISAC membership today! For more MS-ISAC membership information, check out our MS-ISAC Member Resources or log into the CIS Portal.
