Some of the biggest names in telecommunications are joining forces to bolster cybersecurity across the industry.
The companies — AT&T, Charter, Comcast, Cox, Lumen Technologies, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Zayo — are establishing the Communications Cybersecurity Information Sharing and Analysis Center (C2 ISAC) to provide a trusted setting where technical experts can exchange intelligence and coordinate defense strategies.
“The formation of C2 ISAC marks a critical step forward in our mission to protect the nation’s communications infrastructure against increasingly sophisticated threats,” said Nasrin Rezai, chief information security officer of Verizon.
“By formalizing real-time intelligence sharing among industry leaders, we are building a unified defense that no single company could achieve alone,” she told TechNewsWorld.
AT&T spokesperson Dan Feldstein explained that the cybersecurity threat landscape has evolved rapidly over the past 18 months, with threats becoming more sophisticated, frequent, and impactful.
