MS-ISAC, DNG-ISAC sign MOU for improved cybersecurity
Two nonprofit organizations dedicated to protecting critical infrastructure sectors in North America announced an agreement to share cybersecurity information. The Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center® (MS-ISAC®) and the Downstream Natural Gas Information Sharing and Analysis Center (DNG-ISAC) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to share cyber threat information that will enable stronger protection for both sectors.
The MS-ISAC, part of the nonprofit Center for Internet Security, Inc. (CIS®), based near Albany, N.Y., has been designated by the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) as the key resource for cyber threat prevention, protection, response, and recovery for U.S. State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT) governments. The DNG-ISAC serves natural gas utility (distribution) and pipeline (transmission) companies by facilitating communications between participants, the Federal Government, and other critical infrastructures in the U.S. and Canada.
