The group said the four publications will offer: an overview of ISAOs; a set of guidelines on how to create one and make it effective; a conceptual framework on information sharing, types of cybersecurity-related information that may want to be shared, how to facilitate sharing and privacy and security concerns; and resources related to federal laws and regulations, plus state and local perspectives. "We anticipate updating and expanding these guidelines based on feedback from their implementation," said Rick Lipsey, the ISAO SO's deputy director.

The group will host its next online public meeting Oct. 20 to address the publications, among other things.
