Be Prepared with Public-Private Partnerships

SecurityRoundtable.org, powered by Palo Alto Networks posted resounding support for the necessity of public-private partnerships in the fight against cyber threats. Citing the fact that threat actors participate in collaboration to further attack campaigns, it is imperative that organizations across all facets of business do it better in defense of our networks and homeland security. The post cites several law enforcement organizations that are key to successful information and intelligence sharing, many of which WaterISAC maintains relationships. Sadly, the author did not mention the pivotal role the ISACs (and ISAOs) play in facilitating these public-private partnerships. As the author points out, federal and local law enforcement agencies are key to successful information sharing to help with the big picture.
