About Global Resilience Federation (GRF)
GRF is Committed to Multi-Sector Security
Global Resilience Federation (GRF) builds, develops and connects collective defense communities for mutual security.
With nearly 20 years of experience, GRF is a nonprofit provider and hub for cyber, supply chain, physical and geopolitical threat intelligence exchange among information sharing and analysis centers (ISACs), organizations (ISAOs) and computer emergency readiness/response teams (CERTs) from many different sectors and regions around the world.
We all count on the resiliency of essential services - services from the electricity powering our homes and the connectivity of entertainment apps, to the legal systems and financial pipelines driving the global economy. But this infrastructure faces constant threats from hacktivists, criminals and rogue states, and they are growing in sophistication.
GRF will help your industry develop or enhance a trusted sharing community, obtain actionable intelligence, and support you in emergencies.
That’s the power of Global Resilience Federation.
About GRF
Global Resilience Federation is the evolution of 1998's U.S. Presidential Decision Directive 63 and 2003's Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7 which mandated that the public and private sectors share information about cyber and physical security threats and vulnerabilities to help protect critical infrastructure. GRF was launched in 2017 as a standalone company, from a former Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC) division, to coordinate multi-industry sharing and stand-up new sharing communities to be incorporated into that voluntary sharing architecture.
TODAY
That effort has expanded beyond the United States and critical infrastructure to encompass global organizations, essential industries, and supply chains. GRF members span five continents, working to protect industries deemed critical by most world governments, and others that are essential to the global economy.
As industry and threat actors both adapt, cross-sector sharing is a necessary progression in the security of our modern digital economy.
