Security News > 2021 > July > More sharing, less shame: CompTIA ISAO wants to change the standard response to ransomware attacks
The information sharing organization helps companies deal with security threats and supports more collaboration overall.
Ransomware attacks are not going to stop any time soon and bad actors refine their attack techniques with every new breach.
In addition to cybersecurity intelligence data, CompTIA ISAO members receive full access to all other CompTIA corporate member benefits.
"The vast majority of attacks are commodity in nature and a very small percentage are associated with sophisticated attacks carried out by a group targeting an organization."
As helpful as information sharing can be, exposing indicators or TTPs of an active attack can create more problems for other organizations dealing with the same adversary.
CompTIA launched the ISAO in August 2020 to "Serve as the focal point for dealing with cyber-threats to technology vendors, MSPs, solution providers, integrators, distributors and business technology consultants." The organization's origins are in an ISAO started by tech entrepreneur Arnie Bellini in August 2019 as part of ConnectWise, the business automation software company he co-founded.
