Why Join the CISC?

---

  Joining a consortium enhances an organization's ability to stay secure, manage risks effectively, reduce costs, benchmark, network, and remain competitive while ensuring compliance with regulations and fostering trust with partners.

Tapping into the collective knowledge from other organizations, experts, and thought leaders is also essential to protecting today's critical infrastructure. 

 Being part of a cybersecurity-focused consortium signals to partners and customers that your organization is committed to secure practices, helping to build trust. 

 A broader network of Consortium members also ensures a more comprehensive understanding of security requirement across different industries and sectors allowing for quicker pivots into new markets.

  The Consortium provides a centralized clearinghouse for research, journal publications, initiative updates, and information dissemination.  

 By providing members with access to the latest cybersecurity research, tools, and innovations from academic institutions, think tanks, and industry leaders, infrastructure owners can stay ahead of the curve in cybersecurity defense. 

By participating in a consortium, federal agencies can bolster their defenses, enhance collaboration, access valuable resources, and stay ahead of evolving cyber threats. This collective approach not only strengthens the agency’s security posture but also contributes to a safer, more resilient national cybersecurity framework.
