NH-ISAC and Perch Security Aim to Revolutionize Information Sharing

TAMPA, Fla., June 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center, (NH-ISAC), a member-owned non-profit that is the health and public health (HPH) sector's trusted community for sharing cyber and physical security information, has entered into a partnership with Perch Security to bolster its members' abilities to fully automate the way community threat intelligence data is used and shared. Perch's unique community-centered approach to cyber threat intel is now available to NH-ISAC members, enabling threat detection and sharing participation without dedicated analysts or additional security tools, such as a Security Information and Event Management System (SIEM).

Perch provides a fast and easy way for healthcare organizations to detect anomalies within their environments and report them back to the ISAC so that the entire NH-ISAC community benefits from the intelligence and resulting analysis. Members can begin using Perch immediately after a simple enrollment process.

"We are very excited to bring the Perch capability to NH-ISAC as we believe it will revolutionize information sharing and offer healthcare organizations an extremely affordable and simple way to detect and mitigate against threats," said Denise Anderson, president, NH-ISAC. "Leveraging NH-ISAC's repository of curated indicators, which will be enriched as organizations adopt Perch, will demonstrate the value of the NH-ISAC and its partner communities."

"The industry is shifting toward a model where cyber threat intel analyzed by communities of common industry and interest are the best source of threat intel," said Perch CEO and Founder Aharon Chernin. "Perch set out to make using and contributing to that intel for real-time threat detection affordable and attainable for everyone."
