Cityscape Schools' Director of Technology, Brock Boggs couldn't have said it better: Silos are a thing of the past, and we need to work together as a cybersecurity community. Listen to episode 184 to learn what that looks like in practice from Brock and CIS's CISO, Sean Atkinson. https://bit.ly/3R5eIJp #CollectiveCyberDefense #BetterTogether #Cybersecurity

Cyber threat actors don’t operate alone. They collaborate across borders and networks, sharing tools, infrastructure, and tactics to scale attacks at speed. A single vulnerability anywhere in the ecosystem can quickly become a widespread incident. At the same time, many organizations still struggle to implement consistent cybersecurity safeguards. Talent shortages, fragmented tools, and complex environments make it difficult to stay ahead. Most breaches continue to exploit the basics: misconfigurations, weak credentials, unpatched systems, and the human element. This creates isolated cyber defenses that can’t keep pace with modern threats. Collective Cyber Defense offers a way forward for us all. It brings together people, intelligence, tools, and best practices for strengthening the entire ecosystem. By uniting organizations across sectors — public, private, nonprofit, education, and critical infrastructure — communities can defend better than any single organization alone. By facilitating the transformation of community expertise into practical, validated cybersecurity guidance and tools, CIS helps organizations build stronger baselines, detect threats faster, and respond with confidence. Discover how adopting this community-driven approach to cyber defense can strengthen your organization. https://bit.ly/4ss0Ndh #CollectiveCyberDefense

Cybersecurity is not a challenge any organization can solve alone. For state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, limited resources and growing threats make collaboration essential. The MS-ISAC recently reached a major milestone: more than 5,000 members working together to strengthen collective cyber defense. This SLTT community embodies the power of standing together, sharing insights, and supporting one another to strengthen defenses across jurisdictions and sectors in the face of evolving risk. #MSISAC #CollectiveCyberDefense #CyberResilience

When a cyber incident isn’t addressed quickly, the damage doesn’t stop at the initial breach. Delays can lead to prolonged system outages, loss of sensitive student and staff data, regulatory pressure, and erosion of trust across an entire school community. That’s why timely, coordinated response is critical. When the PowerSchool breach affected K–12 organizations nationwide, the MS-ISAC team provided trusted guidance to help education leaders assess risk, communicate clearly, and take informed action during a high‑pressure situation. This case study shows how coordinated support and proven best practices can reduce uncertainty and help organizations move forward with confidence. https://bit.ly/4wi0epp #CyberDefense #K12Tech #CollectiveCyberDefense

Security frameworks can feel overwhelming, but prioritization does not have to be. Join our webinar to learn how the CIS Critical Security Controls and CIS Benchmarks help you align your security program with regulatory and compliance requirements, while also strengthening real-world defense against attacks.

Drones are changing the risk landscape for large public gatherings, and traditional security measures are no longer enough. Our report highlights how rapidly evolving UAS capabilities create gaps in detection, coordination, and response for state, local, tribal, and territorial governments. It also outlines what SLTTs need to better prepare for today’s airborne threats. Learn how we're helping public safety agencies address these emerging risks. https://bit.ly/3PcSMv7

HIPAA compliance alone doesn’t guarantee strong cybersecurity. That’s why the CIS SecureSuite Platform now maps the HIPAA Security Rule directly to the CIS Critical Security Controls, helping healthcare organizations turn regulatory requirements into prioritized, actionable security steps.
