WASHINGTON, Aug. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Auto-ISAC) welcomes Continental, Cummins, HARMAN, and ZF as original equipment supplier members. The four new members continue Auto-ISAC's recent expansion beyond automakers, as the organization acknowledges the critical role that suppliers play in creating strong vehicle cybersecurity protections.

"With members like Continental, Cummins, HARMAN, and ZF, Auto-ISAC can continue to facilitate that coordination and improve the industry's collective cybersecurity posture."

Auto-ISAC was formed in July 2015 in a coordinated auto industry effort to establish a secure platform for sharing, tracking and analyzing intelligence about cyber threats and potential vulnerabilities.
