Less than a week after the three biggest telcos in the US unveiled plans to <\/span><\/span>launch a satellite joint venture<\/span><\/span><\/span>, AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile have announced a new cybersecurity partnership, alongside another five US telcos.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

AT&T, Charter, Comcast, Cox, Lumen, T-Mobile US, Verizon and Zayo have agreed to establish the non-profit Communications Cybersecurity Information Sharing and Analysis Centre (C2 ISAC) with the aim of strengthening cybersecurity across the communications sector.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe C2 ISAC will strengthen individual member organisations and support the resilience of the nation\u2019s critical communications infrastructure,\u201d said Moon. \u201cI look forward to getting started.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

C2 ISAC is due to go live in June and comes at a vital time for US operators, who have been hit by a number of major cyber breaches in recent years.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In its latest cybersecurity report, Verizon revealed that hackers are increasingly using AI to detect software vulnerabilities, which has \u200cshortened the time that targets have to respond to threats.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
