What does an LMR system or 9-1-1 center manager do in the face of a cyber attack? How well prepared are you for such an eventuality because more and more it is not a question of if but rather when. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) collaborates with international and national partners to defend the cybersecurity of US’s emergency services sector and public safety communications and to thwart malicious actors whether nation-state affiliated or others. CISA products focused on public safety communications include Cyber Risks to LMR First Edition, Guide to Getting Started with a Cyber Risk Assessment; First 48: What to Expect When a Cyber Incident Occurs, and Cyber Resiliency 9-1-1. These are examples of tools and programs to assist public safety administrators in outsmarting cybersecurity criminals. Another new offering called pre-notification helps public and private sector entities anticipate potential cyber-attacks through CISA’s collaboration with law enforcement, the intelligence community, and international partners, and through technical means.
