The mission of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is to lead the national effort to understand and manage cyber and physical risks to our critical infrastructure.

Because roughly 85% of American infrastructure is privately owned, CISA acts as a central coordinator of analysis, planning, and response working with partners to defend against today’s threats and collaborating to build more secure and resilient infrastructure for the future.

  • Support preparation, response, and recovery efforts for hazards impacting critical infrastructure

  • Conduct and integrate infrastructure assessments and analysis, including dependencies and cascading effects, on critical infrastructure to influence decision-making at all phases of emergency management

  • Facilitate information sharing between public and private sector critical infrastructure partners

  • Improve situational awareness of cybersecurity risks and incidents


CISA Region 8, headquartered in Lakewood, Colorado provides cybersecurity and infrastructure security services to 28 Tribal Nations and the following states:

  • Colorado

  • Montana

  • North Dakota

  • South Dakota

  • Utah

  • Wyoming
