In Wake of Target, Retailers to Build Cyber-Security Info Exchange
Posted in: Uncategorized
Last week, Federal Trade Commission Chairman Edith Ramirez said the agency is “actively exploring” creation of an information exchange to assist retailers in enhancing data security and preparing for new types of data breach attacks.
It looks like industry might beat the FTC to the punch. The National Retail Federation said today it will craft a cyber-security information exchange in conjunction with the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center, a financial industry organization.
“I think there’s a general consensus among policy makers and also among retailers that better information sharing would be a good idea,” said David French, senior VP-government relations for NRF.
