Peer-to-peer collaboration
Information sharing is essential to the protection of our information assets and critical infrastructure and to the fostering of a more resilient digital economy. As the lead platform for enhancing Belgium’s cyber security, the Cyber Security Coalition has launched several information sharing initiatives.
Through the Focus Groups, the Coalition develops partnerships and facilitates the sharing of substantive, action-oriented information among cyber security experts from the private sector, the public authorities and the academic institutions, based on the conviction that cyber security benefits from a cross-sector approach.
The Coalition provides a neutral, non-commercial forum, where peers can freely exchange in confidence. A code of conduct ensures the smooth operations of the Focus Groups and subjects the information exchange to the Traffic Protocol Light standards and Chatham house rule.
The Focus Groups have grown organically from the member community and have expanded rapidly. Faced with budgetary constraints and a shortage of experts, organizations are looking for other ways to strengthen the skills and knowledge of their employees. In addition, the emerging European cyber security and privacy regulations generate interpretation and implementation issues. The Focus Groups offer an answer to this need.
Coalition membership provides access to the full suite of Focus Groups. We expect active involvement from our member organizations in these groups. After all the added value of Coalition membership is the access to an extensive network of practitioners eager to learn from each other.
Areas of focus:
Application Security; Awareness Raising; CSIRT-SOC; Cloud Security; Crypto; Enterprise Security Architecture; EU Regulations & Standardization; Governance, Risk & Compliance, Identity & Access Management; Privacy & Data Protection; OT/ICS Security.
