FSISAC

The Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC) is one of the oldest private information-sharing initiatives in the United States. It was established in 1999 by the financial services sector in response to Presidential Decision Directive 63, which mandated that the public and private sectors share information about physical and cyber security threats and vulnerabilities to help protect U.S. critical infrastructure.

The mission of the FS-ISAC, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Financial Services Sector Coordinating Council (FSSCC), is to enhance the ability of the financial services sector to prepare for and respond to cyber and physical threats, vulnerabilities and incidents, and communications during an emergency.

The FS-ISAC specializes in disseminating physical and cyber threat alerts and enabling anonymous information-sharing capability across the entire financial services industry.
