Stung into action by a wave of devastating data breaches, US retailers
have taken the historic decision to share data on cyber-threats for the
first time through a new initiative, the Retail Cyber Intelligence Sharing
Center (R-CISC).
Developed after input from 50 retailers and the Retail Industry Leaders
Association (RILA), R-CISC will operate as an independent body collecting
anonymised data on the attacks detected by firms, hopefully allowing them
to spot common patterns. This will include malware strains, software
vulnerabilities, forum activity and real-time information on attacks.
Other elements of its brief will be to educate members on defence using
training and develop research capabilities by forging lnks within the
security world.
Prominent launch names include J. C. Penney, the Gap American Eagle
