We’ve reached peak “Br[i|y]an” this week when we invited our friend Brian Engle on to discuss what his organization does. Brian is the Executive Director of the Retail Cyber Intelligence Sharing Center – R-CISC.

“Created by retailers in response to the increased number and sophistication of attacks against the industry, the R-CISC provides another tool in retailers’ arsenal against cyber criminals by sharing leading practices and threat intelligence in a safe and secure way.” — R-CISC website

We discussed with Brian a bit of the history of the R-CISC, and why his organization was brought into being. We ask Brian “How do you get companies who make billions of dollars a year to trust another competitor enough to share that they might have been compromised?” “And how do you keep the information sharing generic enough to not out a competitor by name, but still be actionable enough to spur members to do something to protect themselves?”
