Join The Community Bank-ISAC
A Community Bank ISAC (Information Sharing and Analysis Center) is a specialized “digital neighborhood watch” designed specifically for regional and local financial institutions that often operate with leaner cybersecurity resources than global giants. Acting as a central nexus, this organization facilitates the secure, anonymous sharing of threat intelligence—ranging from phishing campaigns targeting small business lenders to vulnerabilities in specific core banking software used by smaller entities. By pooling data and expertise, the ISAC transforms individual vulnerabilities into collective defense, providing community bankers with real-time, actionable alerts and mitigation strategies that are tailored to their unique regulatory environments and risk profiles, effectively leveling the playing field against sophisticated state-sponsored actors and ransomware gangs.
