Evolving cybersecurity threats are putting constant pressure on state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) organizations, which must shore up their defenses despite limited resources. In a recent interview, Kateri Gill, Director of CIS Services at the Center for Internet Security (CIS), provides critical insight into navigating today’s cyber landscape.

Nearly 82 percent of K-12 organizations were the victims of cyber incidents between 2023 and 2024, according to a new study showing that schools are increasingly the target of cyber threat actors. 

The nonprofit Center for Internet Security (CIS) has entered into a “strategic collaboration” with Microsoft to help bolster cybersecurity measures for state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) organizations.
