Summary

Hide ▲

The Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) faces a funding cutoff on September 30, 2025, due to federal budget cuts. This may lead to the discontinuation of free cybersecurity services for state and local organizations, including K-12 schools, emergency services, and critical infrastructure. The MS-ISAC detected over 40,000 potential cyberattacks and prevented 59,000 malware and ransomware attacks in 2024. Without continued federal funding, the Center of Internet Security (CIS) may start charging for these services, potentially leaving smaller communities vulnerable to cyber threats. State and local leaders are lobbying Congress to restore funding, emphasizing the critical role of MS-ISAC in safeguarding national infrastructure and services.
