(Burgess, 2018)The growing Information Sharing and Analysis Organization (ISAO) ecosystem provides an opportunity to empower the nation to become more educated and effective in preventing, detecting, and responding to the increasingly sophisticated landscape of cyber threats. There are considerable challenges with the vast quantity of information, the complexities of analysis, and the uncertainties of sharing data with a large network of organizations.In the 2016 National Preparedness Report, 88% of states and territories indicated a high prioritization of cybersecurity, with only a 13% proficiency in that capability. Likewise, 86% of states and territories ranked intelligence and information sharing as a high priority, with a reported 57% proficiency in that capability. The establishment of an ISAO is a critical step to improve both of these capabilities.Executive Order 13691 encourages the formation of ISAOs, and states that "organizations engaged in the sharing of information related to cybersecurity risks and incidents play an invaluable role in the collective cybersecurity of the United States". At the end of this course, participants should possess the fundamentals needed to design and develop an Information Sharing and Analysis Organization (ISAO) for states, locals, tribes, and/or territories (SLTTs). It addresses what the ISAO is, how it is used, who should participate in the design, implementation, building, and execution.

The expansion of higher education into offering practical education for industrial professions finds its roots in the Morrill Act of 1862, also known as the Land Grant College Act. The earliest fire training courses on the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College campus date to 1930. While a variety of entities within Texas A&M University have been charged with developing needed training and teaching resources over the years, the basic mandate remains the same: to provide occupational and technical training services on an extension basis to the citizens of Texas.
