CyberShare: The Small Broadband Provider ISAC

CyberShare promotes the resiliency and continuity of operation of small network operators across the United States. CyberShare collects and disseminates threat information, indicators and mitigation strategies from a variety of public and private sources and facilitates communications among participants.

Working closely with industry partners, the federal government and other stakeholders, CyberShare helps small broadband providers recognize, analyze and respond to vulnerabilities, threats and other risks. As operators of critical communications infrastructure serving millions of rural Americans, small broadband providers are engaged and motivated to improve their cybersecurity postures. But industry resources are expansive and can be overwhelming and difficult to apply to the unique needs of a small communications company. CyberShare: The Small Broadband Provider ISAC can help bridge the gaps in education and awareness of cybersecurity risk management principles and empower you to take action.

CyberShare strengthens your company's value proposition

Becoming a CyberShare member connects your organization to a trusted network of industry and government experts for real-time threat intelligence sharing and collaborative defense. Members exchange emerging threats, incident experiences and proven solutions through peer-to-peer learning and best practices sharing. The value of participating in CyberShare extends beyond the membership — it is about building relationships, understanding the vulnerability of threats, and prioritizing the safety and security of your community, company and customers. Cultural activities enrich students’ extracurricular life.
