Welcome to The Virginia IT Agency

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month (CSAM) for the Commonwealth of Virginia

Has your entity experienced a cyber security breach?

Use the cyber incident report form to notify the Commonwealth.

This form is for public bodies and other organizations to notify the Virginia Fusion Center of cybersecurity incidents, in partnership with Virginia State Police (VSP), Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM), and VITA.

Visit reportcyber.viriginia.gov FAQs page for related questions and answers on the use of this form.

Additional cyber resources

In order to provide thousands of essential public services ranging from disaster assistance to social security to water and electricity, all levels of government must ensure their cyber infrastructure is safe, secure and resilient. Below, find resources and materials for state and local government officials and employees to get informed about cybersecurity.

• Visit the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) for cyber threat prevention, protection, response and recovery for the nation's state, local, territorial and tribal (SLTT) governments.
• Collaborate across the federal government to enhance the nation's cybersecurity posture through DHS' Federal Network Resilience.
• Share information and best practices through the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Federal Agency Security Practices (FASP).
