Partnerships and Collaboration

Partnerships between the public and private sectors that foster information sharing are essential to protecting critical infrastructure and to furthering cybersecurity.

Partnerships and Collaboration

  • 2024 JCDC Priorities

At CISA, partnership and collaboration are our foundation and the lifeblood of what we do. Information sharing and cooperative action – across both public and private sectors – is essential to our goal of raising the nation’s collective defense. The private sector owns and operates a majority of our nation's critical infrastructure, and partnerships between the public and private sectors that foster trust and effective coordination are essential to maintaining critical infrastructure security and resilience. Through these partnerships, we facilitate a team environment where two-way information sharing of critical threat information, risk mitigation, and other vital information and resources is quick, seamless and actionable. This mutual commitment to information sharing through our trusted partnerships is essential to the protection of critical infrastructure and to furthering cybersecurity for the nation.

As the national coordinator for critical infrastructure security and resilience, CISA develops and implements numerous information sharing programs to promote resources and tools that help our partners build security and resilience. These programs include awareness and outreach campaigns like the annual Cybersecurity Awareness Month and broader national awareness programs that offer partner toolkits.

CISA develops and shares substantive information with the private sector and with state, local, tribal, and territorial governments. Recognizing cybersecurity threat actors are not constrained by geographic boundaries, CISA fosters relationships with international partners to promote collaborative information sharing, cybersecurity best practices, and partnership models across the globe.

CISA International Strategic Plan

In recognition of the reality that today’s threats do not respect borders, CISA developed this CISA International Strategic Plan as a complementary guide for CISA’s international activities and outcomes.

Public-Private Partnership Councils and Committees

Executive leaders and security experts from Critical Infrastructure Sectors meet regularly in national forums to exchange threat information, coordinate risk reduction efforts, and address the nation's security challenges. On April 30, 2024, the White House National Security Council (NSC) published the National Security Memorandum (NSM) on Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience. This memo builds on the important work that the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and agencies across the federal government have been undertaking in partnership with America’s critical infrastructure communities for more than a decade. It also replaces Presidential Policy Directive 21 (PPD-21) on Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience, which was issued more than a decade ago to establish national policy on critical infrastructure security and resilience.   

Advisory Councils and Committees

Executive leaders from the public and private sectors offer their expertise on policies and strategies for protecting the nation's critical infrastructure.

Critical Infrastructure Sector Partnerships

Industry and government councils serve the Nation's 16 critical sector. CISA serves as a risk advisor and plays an overarching coordination role across all the sectors.

Cross-Sector and Coordinating Councils

Industry and government leaders collaborate in national councils to address cybersecurity and physical security threats to critical infrastructure.
