Cyware has served as the MTS-ISAC's information sharing platform and intelligence repository for over three years. The MTS-ISACʼs SOC leverages the platform to curate cyber threat intelligence, while our maritime stakeholders benefit from its ability to support both human and automated consumption. We are grateful for the continued partnership, which has enabled us to make sense of data faster and act in more precise, impactful ways.

The Cyware platform is easy to navigate, and a simple search of 'finance' is enough to determine whether there are any cyberattacks we need to be aware of. With previous providers, I would have had to create a very specific query and manually search for specific keywords in titles and bodies of text. With Cyware, this data is held in one place.
