Katie BaileyIn addition to staying informed about emerging cybersecurity threats, credit unions can take advantage of free resources designed to help strengthen their cybersecurity defenses.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) offers a wide range of free cybersecurity services, tools, and guidance for organizations that are part of the nation’s critical infrastructure, including credit unions. Through CISA Central, credit unions can access technical assistance, cybersecurity education, threat information, and resources that support stronger cyber resilience.
Whether your credit union is looking to better understand its cybersecurity posture, identify vulnerabilities, or enhance incident preparedness, CISA provides practical tools that can complement existing security programs without impacting your budget.
Available resources include:
- Regional Cybersecurity Advisors (CSAs) who can connect your credit union with cybersecurity expertise and federal resources.
- Cyber Hygiene Services, including no-cost vulnerability scanning for internet-facing systems to help identify and address potential security weaknesses.
- Cybersecurity Performance Goals (CPGs) that provide a practical framework for prioritizing cybersecurity investments and strengthening security maturity.
- A comprehensive database of free cybersecurity services and tools from CISA and trusted public- and private-sector partners.
These resources can help credit unions of all sizes improve their cybersecurity readiness and stay informed about the evolving threat landscape.
The League encourages member credit unions to explore these no-cost resources and determine which services may best support their cybersecurity strategy.
