A cybersecurity operations center has launched as part of the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC), a nonprofit whose mission is to facilitate threat collaboration among state and local governments. The new center will conduct real-time networking monitoring, allowing for the round-the-clock release of threat warnings and vulnerability information, as well as general outreach and education. The goal is to "provide direct managed and monitored security services to a greater number of" state, local, territorial and tribal governments, according to a news release issued last week. - DK
