5. TALK belongs to CyberUSA
• Mission of CyberUSA: The importance of sharing cyber threat
information has been discussed for more than a decade.
• Establishment of sector-based communities built on a basis of
affinity and trust is recognized as a key ‘next phase’ of developing
resilience capabilities for our nation.
• This national ISAO will provide a connective platform for locally
structured and market-based ISAO activity, providing a sustainable
model for growth while enhancing overall resilience.
• CyberUSA will effectively become a ‘community of communities’ to
allow business to continue as normal at the local level, providing a
funding methodology to support local efforts, while also providing
exponential improvements to cyber resilience capabilities locally
and nationally.

6. CyberUSA Expanding
• Via tech councils and other tech organizations
22 states are now participating in CyberUSA
• CyberUSA welcomes the Midwest Cyber

9. FAQs
How will sharing incident reports bring value to our company?
• With CyberUSA, incident exchange becomes an essential part of
the effort to tackle ongoing cyber incidents and not a reactive,
one-directional communication after the threat has been
resolved.
Using CyberUSA you can:
• Exchange incident data very early in the response process. This
allows you to leverage external expertise in your own
remediation efforts and provide early warning to help other
organizations lower Collaborate with skilled analysts from vetted
CyberUSA corporate members their own exposure to analyze
attack indicators, develop defensive strategies and decrease time
to mitigation.
• Find out quickly if what you are seeing is being worked on
elsewhere and benefit from what others have already learned.

10. FAQs
What types of information do CyberUSA members exchange?
• Our platform is designed to help incident response teams share
exchange incidents of concern. By focusing less on raw data streams
and more on context around incident reports developed by security
operators, we aim to help members make sense of the data they
are already seeing and provide valuable external context and
decision support.
• We are able to process incident reports in a number of different
formats, including STIX, or supply a template for you. We also
have an API that can be used to build connectors with a number
of ticketing systems.
What if your organization would like more than two licenses?
If there is a need for additional credentials, TruSTAR will provide them
to CyberUSA members at a discounted price via TALK.
