'''Electricity Information Sharing and Analysis Center (E-ISAC)''' is a non-profit organization operated by the [[North American Electric Reliability Corporation]] (NERC), established in 1999 to serve as the primary security information hub for the North American electricity industry. It gathers and analyzes security data, shares actionable intelligence with electric utilities, coordinates incident management, and collaborates with the U.S. Department of Energy and the Electricity Subsector Coordinating Council to mitigate cyber and physical threats to the grid. {{Official URL (simple)|url=https://www.eisac.com}} ==Mission== The mission of the Electricity Information Sharing and Analysis Center is to strengthen the security of the North American electricity grid by providing timely, relevant, and actionable information on cyber and physical threats to its members and partners. It aims to enhance industry resilience through situational awareness, threat analysis, and coordination with government agencies and cross-sector stakeholders.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nerc.com/pa/rrm/Pages/EISAC.aspx |title=Electricity Information Sharing and Analysis Center |publisher=North American Electric Reliability Corporation |access-date=February 22, 2025}}</ref> ==Parent organization== The Electricity Information Sharing and Analysis Center operates under the [[North American Electric Reliability Corporation]], which oversees electric reliability standards across North America.
