CCA Joins Infrastructure Coordination Center

The Competitive Carriers Association joined the Communications Information Sharing and Analysis Center. ISAC, through a partnership with the Department of Homeland Security and the National Coordination Center for Communications, “is a critical collaboration between government and industry stakeholders to monitor and prevent harm to America’s telecommunications infrastructure,” CCA said in a Monday news release. “The Communications ISAC operates as a hub for telecommunications industry participants to share and analyze information on network vulnerabilities, intrusions, and other threats.” CCA President Steve Berry said he looked forward to “facilitating greater CCA member integration with the Communications ISAC, particularly with our small carrier members.” CCA members “have invested a great deal constructing broadband networks that serve rural and underserved populations, and like larger carriers, strive to offer their customers the most resilient and secure networks possible -- from both a physical and cyber perspective,” he said.
