Cybersecurity policy recommendations update: Our affiliate survey results are in and we’re busy preparing our policy recommendations to the Trump administration. We’ll announce the date of the e-book release very soon.? It’s vital to communicate that cybersecurity needs to be a top tier priority. Cybercrime is a multi-billion-dollar industry that cuts deep into the heart of the American economy — not to mention our geopolitical security. It effects businesses, infrastructure, defense, and our long-term viability as a nation. The perpetrators are often members of organized crime syndicates, malicious state-sponsored actors, or terrorists. We need to work together and share the best practices that will significantly reduce the number and scope of incursions. If you represent a technology council, chamber of commerce, cyber group, ISAO, ISAC, or other trust-based membership group, we invite you to become an affiliate and bring your group into our "community of communities."
