2017.04.25 Cyber CYA: ISAOs and ISACs

Description:

What is an Information Sharing and Analysis Organization (ISAO)?

An ISAO is a group created to gather, analyze, and disseminate cyber threat information. ISAOs offer a more flexible approach to self-organized information sharing activities amongst communities of interest such as small businesses across sectors: legal, accounting, and consulting firms that support cross-sector clients, etc.

The cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a Nation. Organizations engaged in sharing information related to cybersecurity risks and incidents play an invaluable role in our collective cybersecurity. Accordingly, private companies, nonprofit organizations, federal and local agencies, and other entities or interested individuals must be able to share information related to cybersecurity risks and incidents and collaborate to respond in as close to real time as possible.

The ability for a company to share and receive actionable cyber threat information with fellow industry groups, in order to protect their own networks, is an inherent benefit of participating in an ISAO. Increased and more timely awareness of cyber risks will allow companies to implement effective mitigations and reduce the frequency and impact of cyber incidents.
