BRUSSELS and BLUE BELL, Pa., July 1,
2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys Corporation (NYSE:
UIS) today announced it has joined the Cyber Security Coalition – a
partnership among more than 60 organizations from the academic
world and the public and private sectors that have joined forces in
the fight against cyber crime in Belgium.
"The Cyber Security Coalition strives to build a strong national
cybersecurity ecosystem. Sharing cyber security capabilities across
sectors is invaluable and helps us all to better protect ourselves
against and respond to cyber incidents," says Jan De
Blauwe, chief information security officer for BNP Paribas
Fortis and chairman of the Cyber Security Coalition. "Unisys'
expertise in the field of cybersecurity software, services and
applications enriches our collaboration platform. We are delighted
to welcome Unisys as a member."
The Cyber Security Coalition's mission is to bolster
Belgium's cybersecurity resilience
by bringing together the skills and expertise of the academic
world, the private sector and public authorities on a trust-based
platform aimed at fostering information exchange and implementing
joint actions.
The organization's key focus areas are cybersecurity awareness,
enterprise security architecture, cloud security, governance, risk
and compliance and the Cybersecurity Act – which reinforces the
mandate of the EU Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) so it can better
support member states with tackling cybersecurity threats and
attacks. Other Coalition focus groups address privacy, the Network
and Information Systems Directive (NIS), cryptography and Computer
Security Incident Response Team and Security Operations Centre
(CSIRT-SOC) activities.
As a global security solutions provider to commercial
organizations and governments around the world, Unisys is committed
to making cybersecurity more robust. Unisys Chairman and CEO
Peter Altabef co-chairs the U.S.
National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee's
Cybersecurity Moonshot initiative, and the company has strong
commitments to other global initiatives including the Paris Call
for Trust and Security in Cyberspace, the Cybersecurity Tech
Accord and programs delivered by the EastWest Institute.
"We are very pleased to become a member of the Cyber Security
Coalition. Our involvement represents a great opportunity to learn
from other member organizations and share the best practices,
insight and expertise that our team has gained from delivering
projects within highly secure environments, particularly with
public entities," says Chris Kloes,
