“I look forward to the challenges which lay ahead for the cybersecurity information sharing community,” stated Allen Shreffler, Deputy Director of the ISAO SO. “One such challenge is developing and maintaining trust. Without trust, the “bad guys” not only have the initiative but the advantage. We must work together and trust one another to share cybersecurity information which will result in stopping the bad guys from repeating success. When we share, we force our adversaries to spend their time and resources finding new attack methods. We take their momentum and gain the advantage.”
