US Cuts Federal Funding for MS-ISAC Cyber Program Impact

🛡️ CISA has ended its cooperative agreement with the Center for Internet Security, terminating federal funding for the MS-ISAC on September 30 and placing the program's future in doubt. The MS-ISAC supports more than 18,000 state, local, territorial and tribal members with services such as advisories, secure information sharing, tabletop exercises and the Albert intrusion detection system. CIS has been temporarily subsidizing operations at over $1m per month but plans to phase out that support and is pushing members toward a paid membership model. CISA says it will move to a "new model" to support SLTT partners with tools, grant access and regional advisors.
