Preparedness Grants Manual DHS’s Enhanced Cybersecurity Services (ECS) program is an example of a resource that assists in protecting U.S.-based public and private entities and combines key elements of capabilities under the “Detect” and “Protect” functions to deliver an impactful solution relative to the outcomes of the Cybersecurity Framework. Specifically, ECS offers intrusion prevention and analysis services that help U.S.-based companies and SLTT governments defend their computer systems against unauthorized access, exploitation, and data exfiltration. ECS works by sourcing timely, actionable cyber threat indicators from sensitive and classified Government Furnished Information (GFI). DHS then shares those indicators with accredited Commercial Service Providers (CSPs). Those CSPs in turn use the indicators to block certain types of malicious traffic from entering a company’s networks. Groups interested in subscribing to ECS must contract directly with a CSP to receive services. Please visit the ECS page on CISA.gov for a current list of ECS CSP points of contact. 8.12.8. REGIONAL RESILIENCY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM The Regional Resiliency Assessment Program (RRAP) is a cooperative assessment of specific critical infrastructure within a designated geographic area and a regional analysis of the surrounding infrastructure that address a range of infrastructure resilience issues that could have regionally and nationally significant consequences. These voluntary, non-regulatory RRAP projects are led by CISA’s Infrastructure Security Division and are selected each year by DHS with input and guidance from federal, state, and local partners. For additional information on the RRAP, visit the RRAP page on CISA.gov. 8.12.9. LAW ENFORCEMENT SUPPORT OFFICE, OR 1033 PROGRAM LESO facilitates a law enforcement support program, which originated from the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 1997. This law allows the transfer of excess Department of Defense property that might otherwise be destroyed to law enforcement agencies across the United States and its territories. No equipment is purchased for distribution. All items were excess that had been turned in by military units or had been held as part of reserve stocks until no longer needed. Requisitions cover the gamut of items used by America’s military ― clothing, office supplies, tools and rescue equipment, vehicles, small arms, and more. There is no fee for the equipment itself; however, the law enforcement agencies are responsible for the shipping costs. For additional information on the LESO, see the LESO page on DLA.mil. 82
