Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC)
The MS-ISAC is a collaborative organization with participation from all 50 States, the District of Columbia, local governments and U.S. Territories. The mission of the MS-ISAC, consistent with the objectives of the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace
, is to provide a common mechanism for raising the level of cyber security readiness and response in each state and with local governments. The MS-ISAC provides a central resource for gathering information on cyber threats to critical infrastructure from the states and providing two-way sharing of information between and among the states and with local government.

MS-ISAC Cyber Alert Level Indicator Procedures and Protocols |
| On September 2, 2008, the Cyber Alert Level is being lowered from Blue (Guarded) to Green (Low) since there have been no new reports of significant malicious activity in the past week. Organizations and users are encouraged to update and apply all appropriate vendor security patches to vulnerable systems and to continue to update their antivirus signatures daily. Another line of defense includes user awareness training regarding the threats posed by attachments and hypertext links contained in emails, especially from un-trusted sources. |
