Who the MS-ISAC Serves
The MS-ISAC is the nation’s trusted cybersecurity partner for U.S. State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT) government organizations. We work across key sectors including law enforcement and public safety, education, healthcare, and critical infrastructure to help our members strengthen their cyber resilience and reduce risk.
At the core of MS-ISAC is the delivery of actionable threat intelligence and services like Malicious Domain Blocking and Reporting (MDBR) to protect mission-critical systems. For law enforcement and public safety agencies, this includes protection of critical public safety systems such as Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs).. K-12 schools and universities gain access to cost-effective tools, best practices, and expert guidance to safeguard student data and maintain secure learning environments. Healthcare organizations benefit from real-time alerts, vulnerability management, and compliance support to protect sensitive patient information. Finally, critical infrastructure organizations receive real-time intelligence and response support for quickly addressing cyber threats targeting their Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems.
Across every sector, MS-ISAC provides 24x7x365 monitoring through CIS's Security Operations Center, rapid incident response, and collaborative defense strategies to empower SLTT entities to stay ahead of evolving threats and build a stronger security posture.
Governance & Leadership
The MS-ISAC is a division of the Center for Internet Security (CIS) and is guided by its Executive Committee and member organizations.
The MS-ISAC operates under a formal Charter. The Executive Committee, made up of SLTT representatives elected by membership, provides strategic guidance and recommendations on behalf of the MS-ISAC membership to ensure priorities reflect the needs of the community we serve.
