Resources for State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT) Governments. The resources below are available to State, local, tribal, and territorial governments. Resources have been aligned to the five Cybersecurity Framework Function Areas. Some resources and programs align to more than one Function Area. At the bottom of this page are links to geographically- specific resources from various levels of government to help identify and manage cyber risk.
To help SLTT government leaders get started, DHS has created a packet of resources specially designed to help them recognize and address their cybersecurity risks. The CRR may be conducted as a self- assessment or as an on- site assessment facilitated by DHS cybersecurity professionals. The CRR assesses enterprise programs and practices across a range of ten domains including risk management, incident management, service continuity, and others. The assessment is designed to measure existing organizational resilience as well as provide a gap analysis for improvement based on recognized best practices. For additional information please see http: //www. The CDM program is a dynamic approach to fortifying the cybersecurity of computer networks and systems.
Through the CDM program, DHS works with partners across the entire Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) government to deploy and maintain an array of sensors for hardware asset management, software asset management and whitelisting, vulnerability management, compliance setting management, and feed data about an agency’s cybersecurity flaws, and present those risks in an automated and continuously- updated dashboard. CDM, which will also be available for State and local entities as well as the Defense Industrial Base Sector, provides our stakeholders with the tools they need protect their networks and enhances their ability to see and counteract day- to- day cyber threats. More information is available at: http: //dhs. Industrial control systems security posture assessments, offered through CSET, a self- assessment tool. The tool can be downloaded for self- use or organizations can request a facilitated site visit, which could include basic security assessments, network architectural review and verification, network scanning using custom tools to identify malicious activity and indicators of compromise, and penetration testing.
A decade of billions in spending in the name of homeland security has armed local police departments with military-style equipment and a new commando mentality. But has it gone too far? Andrew Becker and G.W. SAFECOM is managed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Office of Emergency Communications (OEC). Through these partnerships, SAFECOM has created key documents such as the Interoperability Continuum, the Statement of. Upcoming Training Opportunities. The Vermont Emergency Training program offers a wide array of free courses for seasoned responders and those who would like to explore emergency response as a volunteer or as a career. Fusion centers bring critical value and context to homeland security that no other federal, state, or local organization can replicate.

The National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) produces advisories, alert & situation reports, analysis report, current activity updates, daily summaries, indicator bulletins, periodic newsletters, recommended practices, Weekly Analytic Synopsis Product (WASP), weekly digests, and year in review to alert partners of emerging cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and current activities. Certain products such as alerts, current activity, bulletins, and tips are released through US- CERT’s NCAS. More information on obtaining NCAS products is available at: A list of recommended practices aimed at helping industry understand and prepare for ongoing and emerging control systems cybersecurity issues, vulnerabilities, and mitigation strategies. ICS- CERT works with control systems manufacturers, service providers, researchers, and end user community to ensure that the recommended practices are vetted by industry subject matter experts prior to publication.
Recommended practices cover topics such as defense- in- depth strategies, cyber forensics, and incident response, and are updated on a routine basis to account for emerging issues and practices. Access to recommended practices is provided through: http: //ics- cert.

CSAs are regionally located DHS personnel who direct coordination, outreach, and regional support to protect cyber components essential to the sustainability, preparedness, and protection of the Nation’s critical infrastructure and SLTT governments. CSAs offer immediate and sustained assistance to prepare and protect SLTT and private entities. CSAs bolster the cybersecurity preparedness, risk mitigation, and incident response capabilities of these entities and bring them into closer coordination with the Federal Government.
CSAs represent a front line approach and promote resilience of key cyber infrastructures throughout the U. S. For more information about CSAs, please email cyberadvisor@hq.
PSAs are trained critical infrastructure protection and vulnerability mitigation subject matter experts. Regional Directors are Supervisory PSAs, responsible for the activities of eight or more PSAs and geospatial analysts, who ensure all Office of Infrastructure Protection critical infrastructure protection programs and services are delivered to Federal and SLTT stakeholders and private sector owners and operators. The PSA program focuses on physical site security and resiliency assessments, planning and engagement, incident management assistance, and vulnerability and consequence information sharing. For more information about PSAs, visit: http: //dhs. The Fed. VTE content library contains pre- recorded classroom cybersecurity training for State, local, tribal, and territorial government personnel, as well as Federal Government personnel and contractors. Fed. VTE provides government- wide, online, and on- demand access to cybersecurity training to help the workforce maintain expertise and foster operational readiness.
With courses ranging from beginner to advanced levels, the system is available at no cost to users, and is accessible from any internet- enabled computer. For more information, visit www. The Department’s Office of Cybersecurity and Communications (CS& C) Stakeholder Engagement & Cyber Infrastructure Resilience (SE/CIR) division established the SLTT Cybersecurity Engagement program to build partnerships with non- federal public stakeholders including governors, mayors, state Homeland Security Advisors (HSA), Chief Information Officers (CIO), and Chief Information Security Officers (CISO). In order to advance the Department’s mission in protecting critical network systems and ensuring the use of the Internet as a resource to connect with American citizens, the SLTT Cybersecurity Engagement program fosters relationships that protect our Nation’s critical infrastructure.
