Industry leaders across networking, service providers and cybersecurity have launched the Network Resilience Coalition, an alliance focused on bringing together technology providers, security experts and network operators to improve the security of data and networks that support global economic and national security.
Founding members of the coalition include leaders who have been addressing these issues at their roots such as AT and T, Broadcom, BT Group, Cisco Systems, Fortinet, Intel Corp, Juniper Networks, Lumen Technologies, Palo Alto Networks, Verizon and VMware.
“Network resilience is vital to the health of our economy and our interconnected world and there is a need to focus on how to improve the security of the larger ecosystem by all sides working together,” said Ari Schwartz, coordinator of the Center for Cybersecurity Policy & Law
“Too often we see organizations fall victim to a cyberattack because an existing critical update or patch wasn’t made.”
Coalition members will work together on a report that investigates the crux of these issues and produce clear, actionable recommendations for improving network security, for technology providers, technology users and those creating or regulating security policy.
