The program aims to reduce third-party risk for RH-ISAC member companies by strengthening the cybersecurity of their suppliers. This initiative demonstrates RH-ISAC’s commitment to improving cybersecurity across the entire retail and hospitality ecosystem.
LinkSECURE program participants will work closely with dedicated support managers to implement critical security controls. In addition, the organization will hold virtual meetings, educational sessions on the essentials of cybersecurity, and topical briefings on major sector incidents one-on-one and in group settings.
A few key points showcasing the significance of the new program include:
- Offers a guided path to implementing a prioritized set of safeguards to mitigate the most prevalent cyberattacks
- Guides these businesses to maturity in their cybersecurity programs
- Provides users with access to a vast array of RH-ISAC resources relevant to their sectors including threat intelligence, research/reporting, the work of member groups, and resources from partner organizations
“The LinkSECURE program is setting a new standard to help our industry become better prepared to combat ever-growing cybersecurity threats,” said Luke Vander Linden, RH-ISAC’s Vice President of Membership and Marketing.
The program will primarily be offered to RH-ISAC’s Core Members’ vendors. Should other small to mid-sized retailers be interested, RH-ISAC will consider their participation too.
