National Webcast Initiative

The US Department of Homeland Security, through its Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT), and the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) have launched a joint partnership to develop a series of national webcasts which will examine critical and timely cyber security issues.  Embracing the concept that security is everyone’s responsibility, these webcasts will be available to a broad audience to help raise awareness and knowledge levels.   Webcast sessions will be conducted on a regular basis (every two months) , featuring a variety of timely topics. Please visit this site for upcoming events.
