The old phrase "Sharing is caring" is something that Faye Francy has seen revolutionize entire industries.

From her years as a Boeing Commercial Airplanes Cybersecurity ONE team leader, to Aviation-ISAC, and ultimately becoming the Executive Director of Automotive-ISAC, Faye has the unique vantage point of enabling communication between very private and siloed industries.

"I can tell you that while there were four airplanes built by Boeing that took the hit that day, on 9/11, Airbus's stock went down just as low as the Boeing companies," said Francy regarding how the industry was in this together, whether they wanted to be or not.

"This industry is absolutely amazing, right? What I've seen in the six years that I've been here, has been really inspiring," said Faye.

Much of what keeps Faye Francy motivated is the implementation of regulations across the automotive industry.

As Francy states, "Clearly there are some risks that are what I would call intolerable. The risk to human life? That would be an intolerable risk." But many risks that exist in the automotive industry are focused on obtaining either private user or organizational data, not harming operators.
