E-ISAC Update on Response to COVID-19

The E-ISAC is working remotely until further notice and is currently maintaining full staffing levels across Analysis, Intelligence, Operations, and Stakeholder Engagement operations. All of our technology systems remain operational and we are leveraging web conferencing facilities, encrypted communications and our internal collaboration platform to communicate, collaborate, and maintain situational awareness.

The E-ISAC is fully engaged in the industry's response to COVID-19. We communicate regularly with our partners at the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Energy and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and other resources, are actively supporting the Electricity Subsector Coordinating Council's tiger teams.

The E-ISAC continues to distribute information to members and has posted communications and guidance from key government partners, several all-points bulletins and other advisories on its Portal. We encourage our members to check in regularly to receive updates.

The E-ISAC also continues to provide information regarding emerging cyber threats including malicious attacks on conferencing and remote access infrastructure intended to disrupt operations as well as disinformation and spearphishing campaigns attempting to harvest credentials and other information.

We encourage members to actively share information regarding threats and other malicious activities with the E-ISAC so we can communicate this information broadly with other sector participants and government partners to maintain situational awareness.
