As more firms interact with the government agencies and regulators, external partnerships are becoming a priority. An Information Sharing and Analysis Center and one of its members want to give an overview of what ISAC/ISAOs are and how firms can benefit from this partnership and how ISACs are a good place to start when building external partnerships. The talk would start with an overview of ISACs to include how the ISACs provide anonymity to its members when sharing through their organization as well as how the ISACs interact with government entities and other ISACs. The member firm will then talk through why they joined the ISAC and what benefits they have seen for themselves and the sector as a whole. As part of this process, the firm would describe how they developed an internal procedure to share observed threat data to the ISAC. The talk would wrap up with a recent example of a real-world crisis and how the ISAC information sharing partnership worked.
