Join a Community of Interest
The NCCoE relies on public and private sector communities of interest to share business insights, technical expertise, challenges, and perspectives to guide our projects and help us advocate for strong cybersecurity.
Get Involved
Communities of Interest (COIs) are one of the greatest strengths of the NCCoE. We count on our COIs—those experts, innovators, and everyday users of cybersecurity and privacy technologies—to help identify and define the problems to be addressed by the NCCoE. Ultimately, COI members supply insight that supports the cyber resiliency of the U.S. economy.
The NCCoE hosts a number of different communities, and their members come from large and small businesses, government agencies, academia, and the general public. The scope of our active COIs, and how to join, are detailed below.
