State, Local, Tribal and Territorial Security Operations Center/Information Sharing and Analysis Center (97.123)

This program addresses the DHS mission to Safeguard and Secure Cyberspace, as defined in the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, through efforts to support the state, local, tribal and territorial (SLTT) governments and election infrastructure to keep pace in sharing cyber threat information and responding to cyber risk in as close to real-time as possible.

This program leverages the strength of market technology forces to spur innovative strategies within a Security Operations Center (SOC) to enable a cyber-relevant Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC) operating model that is consistent with section 2209 of the Homeland Security Act, Executive Order 13636, Executive Order 13691, and Presidential Decision Directive-63 (PDD-63). Specifically, section 2209(d)(E) requires the composition of the national cybersecurity and communications center to include “an entity that collaborates with State and local governments on cybersecurity risks and incidents.”

This program convenes state-of-the-art SOC technology and their cyber analytic expertise with SLTT cyber coordinators, cyber and fusion center coordinators, and critical SLTT sectors (to include elections, communications, energy etc.) to evolve cyber capabilities from mission control to community collaboration models that face current threats in the digital battlefront.
