Info Sharing and Analysis
Sharing Cybersecurity Information among Localities States Tribes Territories Regions
- We recognize that not all organizations within the community are equally prepared to defend against potential cyber incidents
- A targeted attack on one organization could affect the entire community and the organizations within it
- We work with both organizations and geographically-based communities to establish a comprehensive cybersecurity program by using the CCSMM
- Below is an overview of three key programs – on a local, state and national level – that can help you develop or enhance an information sharing group or establish a cybersecurity program for your area
The core mission of the CIAS-Information Sharing and Analysis Organization (ISAO) is to help states, tribes, local jurisdictions and territories to establish a comprehensive cybersecurity program by using the congressional-supported Community Cyber Security Maturity Model (CCSMM).
The CIAS represents UTSA’s contribution as one of the founding partners of the Texas ISAO. The CIAS is responsible for assisting the TxISAO membership with education and awareness to promote preparation for, protection from and prevention of cyber threats and attacks.
The ISAO Standards Organization works with existing information sharing organizations, owners and operators of critical infrastructure, relevant agencies and other public- and private-sector stake-holders through a voluntary consensus standards development process to identify a common set of voluntary guidelines for the creation and functioning of ISAOs.
