+1, this concept was also presented at a recent FBI-Fordham University conference on cyber security. It is about 
building resiliency through trust partnerships/relationships. Considered a critical skill that organizations of any 
type are encouraged to develop.

+1,  this question came up here as well a few days ago when I was presenting a review of, and our takeaways from last 
fall's NTTX event.

We have a "Five Colleges" consortium, and it's my understanding that there's a high level understanding (ie. no formal 
MoU) that, at the presidential level, every effort will be made to assist a peer institution in need as resources 
permit.  Arguably, this type of open-ended agreement allows for dynamic flexibility depending on the crisis at hand.

Hi Everyone,
Do any of you have working agreements, either formal or informal, with other universities or colleges to assist in the 
event of a cyberattack, etc. that exceeds your resources to handle?

If there’s anything you can share around that, please drop me a note with details, experiences, etc. I know of one 
example in the DC area.

Thanks,
