Thank You

Join a MS-ISAC® Working Group

The MS-ISAC Working groups are comprised of dedicated members who volunteer their time and talent to assist with specific program areas and deliverables in support of the MS-ISAC’s goals and objectives. They serve a significant role in the creation and implementation of MS-ISAC initiatives. These working groups are also a tremendous opportunity to collaborate with your peers across the country. They identify current issues facing SLTT governments and help determine the future course of addressing cybersecurity challenges.

Working groups convene on a monthly basis and may change based on the group’s needs and areas of interest. Level of commitment varies by group, and extent of involvement is completely your choice. Working groups are open to any member from any state, local, tribal, or territorial government. To join one of the working groups below, complete the registration form.

Business Resiliency

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 Challenges and Solutions

The Cybersecurity Challenges and Solutions Working Group will conduct monthly meetings, each tailored to the specific challenges and needs identified by our MS-ISAC members. During these sessions, an MS-ISAC member or a representative from a use case organization will offer practical insights relevant to the highlighted challenge or need. This group is more than a forum for discussion; it is an interactive space dedicated to problem-solving and collective learning.

Cybersecurity Metrics

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 DHS, National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) and the National Association of Counties (NACo) to support the DHS Nationwide Cybersecurity Review.

Education and Awareness

Focuses on implementing innovative strategies, improving existing programs, and promoting successful localized initiatives for national cybersecurity education, awareness, and training content to support the overall mission of the MS-ISAC.

K-12

Brings together a diverse group of educational agencies, in hopes of better understanding the issues, challenges and concerns of school districts throughout the country. The working group strives to meet those needs and improve the overall cybersecurity posture of the community to support the overall mission of the MS-ISAC.
