New Global Resilience Federation Will Share Threat Intel Across Industries

With the growing trend of cybercriminals simultaneously targeting multiple industries at once, the Global Resilience Federation launches today to share security intelligence across a broad swath of industry sectors.

The Global Resilience Federation (GRF) will act as a hub to coordinate cross-sector intelligence among the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC), Legal Services Information Sharing and Analysis Organization (LS-ISAO), and the Energy Analytic Security Exchange (EASE).

Previously, the FS-ISAC, one of the oldest and most established ISACs, held that role of coordinating information among various industries, but it was determined it was time for a change. The FS-ISAC via a formal partnership will transfer its sector services team to the GRF for its initial staff.

"The time is right to launch the GRF community of communities," said Bill Nelson, FS-ISAC president and CEO, and chairman of the GRF board, in a statement. "With the cross-pollination and wide-range of intelligence sources we deal with every day, across many industries, it makes sense that FS-ISAC no longer coordinate intelligence for all our partner organizations, but instead pass the torch to GRF and then join the community as one member among many."
