Information Sharing & Analysis Centres (ISACs) represent an opportunity for Industry to self-organise and manage their own challenges — engaging with Government on their own terms. The model has been proven effective over the last two decades as sector-specific US ISACs expanded globally.
CI-ISAC has evolved the standard ISAC model to operationalise the world’s first cross-sectoral ISAC focussed on providing enabling capabilities and structures to support the collective defence of Australian Critical Infrastructure. The strength and utility of an ISAC is directly related to the number of members it has brought together and the diversity of insights and knowledge that these members bring to the ISAC’s intelligence-sharing platform. CI owners and operators will join CI-ISAC to:
- Building trusted peer-to-peer industry cybersecurity relationships in their own unique CI sector, as well as increasing the opportunity to engage with other private and public sector experts.
- Access business-critical intelligence to manage risk and stay ahead of relevant threats.
- Be better prepared for crises by receiving early warnings and strategies to address potential incidents.
