Shaping the Future of Cybersecurity Policy & Funding

Uniting cybersecurity companies, industry leaders, and experts to
influence legislation, secure funding, and drive business growth.

Advocating for the Cybersecurity Industry at the State Level

The Cybersecurity Industry Legislative Alliance (CILA) is the premier coalition dedicated to securing state and local cybersecurity funding, influencing legislative decisions, and protecting procurement opportunities. With cyber threats on the rise, we ensure cybersecurity companies have a powerful voice in shaping industry regulations and funding policies.

Vision

At CILA, we envision a future where cybersecurity policies empower innovation, strengthen digital defenses, and foster a thriving cybersecurity industry. By uniting industry leaders, policymakers, and experts, we aim to create a policy landscape that supports security advancements while protecting business interests.

Mission

Our mission is to influence state-level cybersecurity legislation, secure critical funding, and protect procurement opportunities for private-sector cybersecurity companies. Through strategic advocacy, industry collaboration, and public policy engagement, CILA ensures that cybersecurity businesses have a strong voice in shaping the laws and funding decisions that impact their future.
