The Communications ISAC is the operational arm of the communications sector. Also known as the DHS National Coordinating Center, the ISAC’s goal is to avert or mitigate impacts upon telecommunications infrastructure so that communication networks remain operational. As a clearinghouse for physical and cyber alerts to the telecommunications industry, the ISAC collects, analyzes and disseminates information on vulnerabilities, threats, intrusions and anomalies to carriers, ISPs, satellite providers, broadcasters, vendors and other stakeholders. The Communications ISAC operates 24/7 and is an operational component within the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center.
