The
National Webcast Initiative: The Department of Homeland Security’s National
Cyber Security Division and the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis
Center (MS-ISAC) have partnered to establish the National Webcast Initiative 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 are available to a broad audience to help raise awareness
and knowledge levels. A number of vendors have offered their services at no cost
to government, to help develop and deliver the webcasts.
The National
Webcast Initiative is also coordinated by the New
York State Office of
Cyber Security and Critical Infrastructure Coordination - http://www.cscic.state.ny.us and the
New York
State Forum - http://www.nysforum.org. For more information about
