200 Israeli high-tech companies will join the Internet Security Alliance (ISAlliance), following a signed agreement by the organization and the Israel Association of Electronics, Information, and Software Industries. Association of Electronics director Uri Har said that the ISAlliance would accept Israel companies with less than $100 million in annual sales.
Companies joining the ISAlliance will receive a booklet outlining how small and medium-sized companies can protect themselves against Internet-related damage. They will also receive a daily e-mail briefing from US Department of Homeland Security, periodic updates, and a direct e-mail line to consultations and inquiries, if needed. Har said that the service was very important for small and medium-sized companies lacking special personnel to handle the problem.
The ISAlliance was founded as a joint venture of the US Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA), and Carnegie Mellon's CyLab, and is sponsored by companies like Nortel Networks (NYSE, TSX: NT), Northrop Grumman Corp. (NYSE: NOC), Visa, Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ), Boeing (NYSE: BA), Sony Corp. (NYSE: SNE; TSE: 6758), the Tata group, NEC (Nasdaq: NIPNY; TSE: 6701), and Mitsubishi Corp. (TSE: 8058; OTC: MSBHY.PK).
The Israel Association of Electronics, Information, and Software Industries operates as an independent association for the benefit of Israeli high-tech industries, and takes part in the activity of the Manufacturers Association of Israel.
