CREST launches Cyber Leaders Forum Americas

CREST International has announced the formation of its new Cyber Leaders Forum in the Americas.

We intend to create a group of regional representatives from a diverse range of industries and markets, connected with buying services in the cyber security industry, including but not limited to:

• Financial Services
• Education
• Telco
• Legal
• Manufacturing
• Local Government
• Energy
• Healthcare

Please note: this list is indicative and not exhaustive. If your industry or market is not listed here we may still want to hear from you so please consider applying.

The CREST Council provides a route for CREST members to represent the cyber industry, therefore we are seeking representatives from industry verticals to complement the elected council. The role of the Cyber Leaders Forum is to:

• Reduce the asymmetry of information between buyers and providers of cyber services
• Help buyers better understand, access, and select cyber services
• Help cyber service providers better design and articulate their offer to meet buyers’ needs (which can vary in sophistication and type)
• Increase awareness in the buying community of the value of procuring CREST-accredited services

Tom Brennan, Chair of the Cyber Leaders Forum Americas, said, “The formation of this group is a testament to our commitment to ensuring a robust cyber security framework. Through this collaboration, we aim to foster a more secure ecosystem, backed by accredited businesses and certified professionals.”
