JCDC Strengthens U.S. Cyber Posture Through Global Partnerships

JCDC Partnerships International, which sits within CISA’s cybersecurity division, works with 150 partners worldwide with the goal of sharing and exchanging critical information allowing the U.S. to respond to cyber threats faster, protect the country’s critical infrastructure more effectively and relay that information to its international counterparts to do the same. Patricia Soler, Section Chief for JCDC Partnerships International at CISA, discusses the mechanisms that a fast-growing organization like CISA needs to have in place to process large volumes of information that can be shared with public and private sectors and its international partners. She also talks about CISA’s ransomware notifications that alert organizations of a ransomware attack before the damage occurs.
