 Getting the Most from External Resources

External resources only help if they're actually used. Here are practical ways to integrate them into your agency's day-to-day operations:

For Agency Leadership

• Enroll your agency in MS-ISAC for free threat intelligence and incident response support
• Ensure your LASO attends the CJIS Security Office Monthly Chat regularly
• Subscribe multiple agency personnel to the CJIS Listserv — not just one point of contact
• Bookmark the FBI CJIS Division site for reference when policy questions arise

For LASOs & Security Staff

• Share MS-ISAC advisories internally when they affect your technology stack
• Forward the monthly SANS OUCH! newsletter to all personnel with CJI access
• Join the LEEP Special Interest Group (SIG) managed by the TX CJIS Security Office
• Bring specific compliance questions to the Monthly Chat — peer answers are often the fastest

For Everyday Users with CJI Access

• Read the monthly SANS OUCH! newsletter — 5 minutes a month builds real awareness
• Know who your LEEP Agency Administrator is before you need a password reset
• Report suspicious activity to your LASO immediately — don't wait for formal channels
