Retail Hospitality ISAC and TruSTAR Announce Strategic Partnership To Advance Threat Intelligence Management Capabilities Among Members

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- TruSTAR, an intelligence management platform built for enterprise security and fraud teams, and the Retail and Hospitality Information Sharing and Analysis Center (RH-ISAC), the trusted cybersecurity community for retail, hospitality and other consumer-facing companies, today formalized their strategic partnership to provide RH-ISAC members with next-generation cyber intelligence sharing capabilities. TruSTAR will be presenting at the upcoming Retail Cyber Intelligence Summit in Denver on September 25.

Since early 2017, TruSTAR and RH-ISAC have forged an integrated partnership that gives members one central destination to analyze and enrich investigations. TruSTAR is a core intelligence sharing capability across the RH-ISAC operating environment and is a critical part of the 'connecting tissue' sustaining the RH-ISAC collaborative environment. With this renewed commitment to partnership, TruSTAR will continue to enable members to operationalize intelligence from the RH-ISAC community and 20+ open source intelligence (OSINT) sources into their broader security integration ecosystems, now with added data ingest and analysis features.

New Technology Features
In addition to TruSTAR's existing intelligence management capabilities, new TruSTAR features for RH-ISAC members will include:

Private Investigation Capability - TruSTAR's Community Plus solution is a new platform functionality that helps members to operationalize internal intelligence alongside member-shared intelligence and OSINT. In addition to searching and sharing across RH-ISAC reports, members now have the ability to enrich investigations privately on TruSTAR.

Slack Integration -TruSTAR's Slack app helps analysts instantly query intelligence sources inside of TruSTAR to enrich investigations taking place in Slack conversations.

Enhanced Platform Metrics & Reporting - TruSTAR will continue to roll-out advanced reporting and analytics features to members, including interoperability with MITRE's ATT&CK Framework and indicator scoring to identify high-risk observables on the platform.

"This partnership reflects RH-ISAC's commitment to bringing more collaboration into the continuously evolving cybersecurity landscape," said Suzie Squier, President of RH-ISAC. "TruSTAR has been a strong strategic partner over the years, enabling us to increase productivity and member sharing. As our member's technology ecosystems become more complex, we are confident in TruSTAR's ability to support our members with secure, robust infrastructure."

"TruSTAR understands the greater value of RH-ISAC and supports its mission to provide a community for consumer-facing companies to build better security through working together and protecting as one," said Paul Kurtz, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of TruSTAR. "We're committed to providing an exceptional product experience for users. We believe that when security professionals can integrate intelligence data into every stage of their workflow, they can make better decisions faster."
