Axon Global Services, LLC, in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency (DHS CISA) successfully neutralizes one of the most effective ransomware cyber threats to businesses. Axon, as a vetted contractor to CISA enjoys special capabilities and privileges offered only under the Cybersecurity Act of 2015 which in turn benefit its clients. The initiative was successful in partnership with CISA’s Joint Cyber Defense Collaboration (JCDC). JCDC is a cybersecurity collaborative that leverages new authorities granted by Congress in the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act to unite the global cyber community in the collective defense of cyber space. It includes specific government agencies designated by Congress including the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Cyber Command, the National Security Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Justice, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Additional federal agencies are included in specific planning and collaboration efforts based upon unique expertise or requirements, including the U.S. Department of Defense, the Transportation Security Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Department of Energy, and the Department of the Treasury. In addition, JCDC enables continuous collaboration with over 100 international cyber defense organizations, often known as “CERTs,” to ensure that information about cyber threats identified anywhere across the globe is rapidly disseminated and used to increase friction for our common adversaries.
