Big Tech, CISA unveil cyber defense collab to combat ransomware

Four details:

1. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said Aug. 5 at a cybersecurity conference that the new Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative will work to plan national cybersecurity defenses with the private sector.
2. The Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative will focus on ransomware and develop an incident response framework for companies affected. This will help public and private companies have a coordinated approach to how they handle and report attacks.
3. CISA Director Jen Easterly said the work the group is doing is “happening in pockets” but “most of it is reactive,” CNBC reported.
4. Verizon, Crowdstrike, Palo Alto Networks, FireEye, Amazon Web Services, Google, AT&T, Microsoft and Lumen will be part of the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative.
