Completing the Global Cybersecurity Puzzle through international cooperation

In the digital age, where information flows across borders with the speed of light, cyber threats are no longer confined to a single nation. Cyber attacks and data breaches transcend geopolitical boundaries and negatively impact nearly everyone, regardless of nation, political views, or economic position. Recognizing this reality, a powerful force emerged: the private sector’s drive to share cyber threat information. Information Sharing & Analysis Centers (ISACs), a concept that started in the 1990s and now operating globally, are a proven forum for collaboration driven by the self-interest of organizations to protect their networks and the shared concerns across the communities they serve.  Over the past 25 years, information sharing has grown on its own merits and the hard work put in by thousands of committed individuals and organizations working together to protect critical infrastructure.  Voluntary information sharing is a more potent force than any government mandate when it comes to sharing cyber threat intelligence, incident details and best practices.

Organizations understand that by sharing information, they are not only protecting themselves but also strengthening the overall security of the digital ecosystem. A shared sense of responsibility, collaboration and learning leads to the formation of information-sharing trust communities, where organizations across industries and country borders can securely and reliably share threat intelligence.

ORMOND BEACH, Fla., Dec. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Health-ISAC), the non-profit world-class, industry-led sharing organization that provides the global health sector with a trusted community for sharing cyber and physical security threats, has announced the 2024 recipient of the Steve Katz Hero Award.
