Sharing cyber intelligence has become a vital best practice for organizations in fending off cyber attacks. The financial services industry formed the first formal information sharing and analysis center (FS-ISAC) in 1999 and has helped other industries launch their own information sharing and analysis organizations (ISAOs). Alfred Saikali, a partner at Shook, Hardy & Bacon, spoke to the Cybersecurity Law Report about why FS‑ISAC is so effective, and what organizations should look for before joining an ISAO.
