Public Safety Threat Alliance created as the cybersecurity
services hub for world-class information sharing and threat
intelligence collaboration for the global public safety
community
Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) today announced the establishment
of Motorola Solutions’ cyber threat information sharing and
analysis organization (ISAO) for public safety. The Public Safety
Threat Alliance, a Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency
(CISA)-recognized ISAO, highlights Motorola Solutions’ unwavering
commitment to public safety organizations and the communities they
serve. CISA, which falls under the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security, serves as the National Coordinator for Critical
Infrastructure Security and Resilience, on this important
initiative.
In accordance with the 2015 Executive Order “Promoting Private
Sector Cybersecurity Information Sharing”, ISAOs are groups focused
on sharing information related to cybersecurity risks and incidents
with membership drawing from the public and private sectors. With
the establishment of the Public Safety Threat Alliance, members
will be able to share and analyze information from multiple sources
to proactively contribute to a stronger cybersecurity posture for
the public safety community, their constituents, and other
stakeholders, including government agencies and businesses.
“The establishment of the Public Safety Threat Alliance fills a
critical void, creating a single entity entirely focused on the
collection, analysis, production and sharing of actionable public
safety-focused cyber threat information and intelligence,” said
Billy Bob Brown, Jr., executive assistant director for Emergency
Communications, CISA. “Now, the public safety community is better
equipped to focus their cyber threat intelligence and defense
efforts on specific adversaries and their malicious
cyberattacks.”
The Public Safety Threat Alliance will leverage information
related to cybersecurity risks from across Motorola Solutions’
Cybersecurity Services, coupled with information from members and
trusted partners including CISA, other ISAOs, and nonprofits
dedicated to sharing cyber threat intelligence, to generate
actionable intelligence which will improve members’ cybersecurity
posture, defense and resilience against ever-evolving threats to
their no-fail Public Safety missions.
“For example, it’s been reported that there was a 1,885 percent
increase in ransomware attacks against governments worldwide in
2021,” said Scott Kaine, corporate vice president of Cybersecurity,
Motorola Solutions. “With cyber threats increasing in scope, scale
and complexity, the Public Safety Threat Alliance can help to
dramatically increase the efficacy with which intelligence is used
to monitor, detect and respond to potential threats before they
result in downtime of public safety services.”
Membership in the Public Safety Threat Alliance is open to all
public safety agencies.
