The University of Arkansas at Little Rock received $1 million Tuesday (May 30) to expand its Emerging Threat Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ET-ISAC). The university will use the money in combination with several partners to strengthen protection from cybersecurity attacks in the energy sector.
The project is supported with a $1 million award from the Department of Energy’s Office of Cyber Security, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER).
Through the already operational Forge Institute Emerging Threat Center, the money will enhance collaboration between electric utilities and partners from the energy sector to advance practices in cybersecurity threat sharing throughout the mid-South region of the country.
