The Advanced Cyber Security Center (ACSC) is a New England–based non-profit organization focused on advancing collaborative defense in cybersecurity. Founded in 2011, it serves as a confidential forum for CIOs, CISOs, risk officers, and legal counsels to share insights under mutual non-disclosure agreements, bringing together private sector firms, universities, defense-oriented nonprofits, state and federal partners, including Massachusetts state authorities and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. The center operates as a regional partner with the Department of Homeland Security and targets industries such as financial services, healthcare, technology, and utilities, along with academia and government entities, to address shared cyber risk and governance challenges. Membership involves participation in tabletop and range exercises, collaborative discussions, and access to field research and annual conferences, with a governance-focused emphasis on trusted information sharing among a core group of security leaders. Acknowledging its location at Northeastern University's Innovation Campus in Burlington, MA, the ACSC maintains a structure centered on high-level collaboration and practical security exercises to strengthen regional cyber resilience. A notable recent development includes partnerships to provide advanced cyber range exercises for defenders to test responses in live-fire scenarios.
