VIENNA,
Va., June 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Retail
& Hospitality Information Sharing and Analysis Center
(RH-ISAC) announces their new critical provider program in
partnership with Google Cloud Security, Microsoft, Palo Alto
Networks and Akamai as tier three associate members. These
companies will be supporting RH-ISAC, its board of directors, and
Core Membership as strategic partners dedicated to developing
cybersecurity maturity in retail, hospitality, travel, and
consumer-facing industries.
This executive partnership is based on identified and mutually
negotiated advisory activities that directly support the RH-ISAC
community through working groups, joint research initiatives,
collaboration with the RH-ISAC cyber threat intelligence team,
threat briefings, critical advisories, and bulletins, as well as
marketing activities such as promotion of webinars, events, and
research reports pertinent to retail and commercial services
industries.
"Our new critical provider program and partnership with these
prominent organizations will propel the ISAC and its members
forward," said Suzie Squier,
president of RH-ISAC. "The knowledge gained from being part of this
community is invaluable and constantly growing."
Each partner will have a few different roles with the RH-ISAC.
For example, Google Cloud Security will be focused on
providing training and education at in-person events and
collaborating with the RH-ISAC CTI team on malicious reporting
activity, SEO issues, investigations, and threat analysis.
Microsoft continues to provide thought leadership on data
security and retention policies and best practices on securing AI
governance, particularly across their products. Most recently, they
gave a threat briefing on a financially motivated threat actor
focused on gift card fraud threats and did a custom
briefing to a member cybersecurity leadership team on
operationalizing AI into security operations.
Both Akamai and Palo Alto Networks have been
featured at the RH-ISAC Cyber Intelligence Summit and are highly
engaged with the RH-ISAC CISO community. Akamai is
facilitating a virtual CISO Roundtable on IoT/OT security in July
and provides briefings on API security and integration best
practices. They also work closely with the RH-ISAC intel team on
bot activity and attribution and fraud indicators,
including precursor ATO activity.
Palo Alto Networks provides briefings on emerging
threats and critical vulnerabilities and has shared templates for
key threat metrics used for board reporting. They also host a
quarterly Network Security Working group for RH-ISAC members and
are sponsoring a full-day CISO Forum as part of the Member Exchange
Live! event in September.
