The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is launching the Joint Collaborative Environment (JCE) project to strengthen industry partnerships. This will enhance cyber threat data and address the need for improved information sharing between agencies and the private sector.
Why it matters: This project is relevant to CIOs as it strengthens industry partnerships and improves information sharing. It enables enhanced collaboration, data enrichment, and more effective cybersecurity measures.
- Aastha Verma, the chief of CISA’s Cybersecurity Division, describes the JCE as a mechanism to enrich data collected by CISA through vulnerability scans and other services, fostering collaboration between agencies and industry to generate meaningful insights for effective information sharing.
- While not yet legally mandated or funded, CISA actively pursues the JCE project aligning with the Cyberspace Solarium Commission’s recommendations to address the fractured cybersecurity landscape.
- JCE aims to enrich CISA’s data by incorporating insights from other agencies. Through this, it promotes efficient information sharing and mitigates delays in response to incidents like SolarWinds.
