DIVERSITY & INCLUSION COMMITTEE

The D&I Committee has formed to bring together H-ISAC Members and staff to generate and pursue
ideas for:

~ Improving D&I within H-ISAC operations
~ Assist Members looking to improve D&I within the cybersecurity
programs of their organizations

Participants will provide feedback and help to implement ideas and/or author agreed upon products. Below is a sample of things we can continue to do together, as a community that cares:

~ Offer leadership opportunities

~ Expand summit scholarship program

~ Establish Internship programs

~ Host webinars / events

~ Foster diversity in speakers at events

~ Hold talks & roundtables on Diversity & Inclusion

~ Create access to diversity resources

The Committee will build upon this list as we go and looks forward to Member input to help shape it. We will share information, updates, and resources via our Member Portal. If interested, please reach out to us at contact@h-isac.org.  We are looking to host our first meeting soon.

TOC UPDATE Fewer Emails / More Control

Health-ISAC has nearly 600 members on-boarded onto “Cyware” – our collaborative situational awareness and information sharing system that delivers cyber and physical threat intelligence to you and your co-workers.  Cyware allows you to customize exactly what information you receive and how it’s delivered from Health-ISAC — through email, an easy-to-use mobile app and a web portal.

After December 2020, Threat Operations Center (TOC) products will no longer be sent via email distribution lists. Cyware will become the primary method of delivery for cyber and physical threat intelligence reports.

Cyware has other neat capabilities as well – including a Member Directory, Alert Repository, Document Library, Quick Polling and Incident Submissions.  Watch for Health-ISAC announcements about live webinars where we will demo the product and answer your questions.

To get set up on Cyware, please contact Health-ISAC Membership Services — contact@h-isac.org.

HSCC Cybersecurity Working Group

Kudos to all in the HSCC and the Health-ISAC for your commitment to protecting the tools, the data, and the IT systems that support our health providers and a well-functioning
healthcare infrastructure.
