MS-ISAC Working Groups

 

The MS-ISAC Working Groups are comprised of dedicated members who volunteer their time and talent to advance effective cybersecurity among U.S. State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial government organizations. Volunteers assist with specific high-impact program areas and deliverables in support of the MS-ISAC’s goals and objectives. Getting involved in the Working Groups afford you the unique opportunity to directly interact and collaborate with organizations like yours. Not only can you share your unique insights, but you can open new possibilities for your organization’s cyber defense posture as you learn more about what other organizations are doing.

Working Groups convene on a regular basis and may change based on the group’s needs and areas of interest. Working Groups are open to all MS-ISAC Members. Participation in Working Groups is 100% voluntary, as is the extent of a member’s participation.

Leadership Mentoring Program

The Leadership Mentoring Program (LMP) is designed to build meaningful and mutually beneficial relationships between cybersecurity professionals to promote the increased maturity of leaders and programs across the SLTT community. This nine-month program offers two participation styles: “1:1 Mentorships” or “Collaborative Mentorships,” allowing ample opportunities for ISAC members to build relationships and core competencies in cybersecurity leadership.

Business Resiliency

The Business Resiliency Working Group focuses on the processes, tools, and best practices related to public sector business continuity and recovery—not only of technology assets, but also recovery of the entire organization, including people, locations, and communications. 

Cybersecurity Metrics

The Cybersecurity Metrics Working Group focuses on recommending and implementing methodologies to help SLTT entities with cybersecurity metrics and compliance inventory, assessment, and audit of their cybersecurity assets. This group works jointly with the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) and the National Association of Counties (NACo) to support the Nationwide Cybersecurity Review.
