Vmoso Case Study: EE-ISAC
Summary
It is a non-profit membership body in which the members are commercial organisations including utilities and solution providers, as well as public institutions such as universities, governmental and other non-profit organizations. Activities include discussion of topics about data security and privacy, the identification of new types of threats (for example in relation to the Internet of Things), sharing experiences on incident handling, collaboration with other membership organisations, and to work on publications such as white papers. Between physical meetings, the membership needed a platform that allowed continued discussion around topics and events, in many cases very sensitive information. Another characteristic of EE-ISAC is that it has relationships with other membership organisations – bodies that have similar or complementary aims and purpose, and some that operate in different geographies or different sectors but where there is value in collaboration and sharing ideas and experiences. It is in this context that EE-ISAC identified a need for digital collaboration hub that facilitated conversation, that provided a knowledge base without requiring significant extra work and that ensured security and the respect for privacy while at the same time ensuring information is shared with those that require it.
