Emergency Services Sector Cybersecurity Initiative
The Emergency Services Sector Cybersecurity Initiative is an ongoing effort to enable the Emergency Services Sector (ESS) to better understand and manage cyber risks and to coordinate the sharing of cyber information and tools between subject matter experts (both inside and outside the federal government) and the ESS disciplines.
Cybersecurity Resources for 9-1-1 Centers
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) assists public safety organizations to seamlessly and securely communicate during steady state and emergency operations to keep America safe, secure, and resilient. The Cybersecurity Resources for 9-1-1 Centers document describes several CISA resources available to public safety communications organizations to help enhance their cybersecurity posture and resilience.
Emergency Services Sector Cybersecurity Best Practices
The Emergency Services Sector Cybersecurity Best Practices factsheet can assist ESS organizations and personnel to better protect themselves using simple, effective, low-cost measures. In addition to general cybersecurity practices, it also addresses best practices for social networking, email, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.
Emergency Services Sector Cybersecurity Framework Implementation Guidance
The Emergency Services Sector Cybersecurity Framework Implementation Guidance was developed by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), in collaboration with the Emergency Services Sector Coordinating Council (SCC) and Emergency Services Government Coordinating Council (GCC) to assist organizations with the implementation of the Cybersecurity framework.
Emergency Services Sector Cyber Risk Assessment
The Emergency Services Sector Cyber Risk Assessment (ESS CRA) is the first sector-wide assessment that analyzes strategic cyber risks to ESS infrastructure. The ESS CRA results will help the sector understand and manage cyber risks, and provide a national-level risk profile that ESS organizations can use to prioritize how they spend resources and where to focus training, education, equipment investments, grant requests, and further study.
Emergency Services Sector Roadmap to Secure Voice and Data Systems
The follow-up to the Emergency Services Sector Cyber Risk Assessment (ESS CRA), the Emergency Services Sector Roadmap to Secure Voice and Data Systems, identifies and discusses proposed risk mitigation measures to address the risks identified in the ESS CRA.
