National Defense ISAC Voted into the National Council of ISACs
The National Defense Information Sharing and Analysis Center (NDISAC) is now an official member of the National Council of ISACs (NCI) after a unanimous member vote at the NCI meeting on December 12, 2017. With the NDISAC, the NCI now has 21 ISACs and 24 members.
The NDISAC is the national defense sector’s non-profit organization formed to enhance the security and resiliency of the defense industry and its strategic partners. NDISAC provides defense sector stakeholders a community and forum for sharing cyber and physical security threat information, best practices and mitigation strategies and is developed to serve as the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) sector’s critical infrastructure protection operational coordination mechanism.
Formerly known as the DIB-Information Sharing and Analysis Organization (DIB-ISAO), NDISAC is the umbrella organization for the Defense Security Information Exchange® (DSIE), the defense sector’s cyber security threat sharing mechanism and premier center of cyber excellence for almost a decade. According to Carlos Kizzee, the current Executive Director of DSIE, “DSIE is a component of the NDISAC and remains the selective, highly-active, high-quality, and high-trust cyber threat intelligence sharing and collaboration for national defense that it has been for almost a decade. Development of the NDISAC provides an expanded all-hazards portfolio for the sector that includes physical/industrial security, insider threat, and other security activities of value to our current members as well as others in the DIB, those that supply to the DIB, and other commercial entities that the DIB depends upon.”
NDISAC services include all-hazards threat sharing; industry-wide alerts, warning and notifications capabilities; the ability to pull together and sustain working groups across diverse subject matter areas relevant to the DIB; and the ability to develop and provide information and services supporting DIB interests.
“While DSIE has always participated to some extent in the National Council of ISACS, the NCI is delighted to officially welcome the National Defense ISAC into the NCI family. We look forward to continuing to engage with the sector in our important coordination, collaboration and sharing activities,” said NCI Chair Denise Anderson.
The role of the NCI in national security is one of coordination and communication across critical infrastructure sectors. The NCI serves as a forum for sharing physical and cyber threat and response information across sectors and as a gateway for federal agencies and other partners to reach the ISAC community. The NCI also has an operational role following incidents of national significance.

I found it fascinating to see how the National Defense ISAC is shaping collaboration in cybersecurity! With so many diverse sectors involved, how do you think sharing insights can enhance overall security resilience? Also, have any specific foodle applications been discussed in this context? I'm curious about that connection!
Strengthening cyber threat intelligence sharing across defense and critical infrastructure is so vital for national security! Whenever I need a quick mental break from following tech and security updates, I usually pop over to minigame for a few minutes since it's completely free and plays instantly in the browser without downloading anything. Thanks for sharing this important milestone!
I appreciate guides that focus on practical information rather than complicated technical language. Readers exploring 10.0.0.1 can learn more about accessing router settings, reviewing configuration options, and handling common network management tasks with greater confidence.

Interesting to see how NDISAC focuses on information sharing, collaboration, and improving security across the defense sector. The emphasis on communication is especially important in complex environments. I usually enjoy a quick round of space waves when taking a short break from reading topics like this.
