Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center
"Best of the Web" Contest
Judging Criteria
Each year, the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) conducts a Best of the Web contest, which aims to recognize state and local governments that use their websites to promote cyber security. The MS-ISAC reviews cyber security websites for all 50 state governments and many local governments and judges them based upon several criteria including cyber security content, usability, accessibility, and appearance. The goal of the contest is to recognize commendable sites and highlight them as best practices for others to consider when developing or re-designing their own sites. One winning website will be chosen in the state/territory category; one winning website will be chosen in the local government category. The winners are announced each October in celebration of National Cyber Security Awareness Month and are featured on the MS-ISAC public website.
