Data Privacy Week logo.

CyberShare: The Small Broadband Provider ISAC is participating in the second Data Privacy Week organized by the National Cybersecurity Alliance. The organization is a non-profit with a mission to create a more secure, interconnected world. CyberShare is a Champion of Data Privacy Week, and we are spreading awareness of data privacy to our participants as well as the surrounding IT and cybersecurity communities. So why is data privacy week important? If personal data is not protected, that data can be exploited and exposed to harm not only the individual but their families, employees, and respective communities. One weak password, one careless decision, can create open access to personal information for cyber criminals online.  

CyberShare participants learn in a variety of ways how to protect their data and uphold the highest cybersecurity posture. CyberShare is an Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC), recognized by the National Council of ISACs, and specifically meets the needs of small broadband providers. Participants receive daily and weekly reports of threats and mitigation measures, from public and private sources and have the opportunity to participate in twice monthly calls from a variety of technical topics like cybersecurity insurance, cybersecurity incident reporting, supply chain risk management, and policy trends. For example, CyberShare recently hosted Daniel Bardenstein from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to talk about the Cross-Sector Cybersecurity Performance Goals to ultimately promote data privacy and cybersecurity resilience. 

To mark Data Privacy Week, CyberShare will be sharing tips, tools and infographics on NTCA social media to help organizations, businesses, and individuals be aware of data privacy for a safer online world for all.
