ERA creates cybersecurity working group
19 November 2020
The European Rental Association (ERA) has created a new working group on cybersecurity.
ERA said the acceleration of digital processes through the pandemic had made cybersecurity more of an issue for rental businesses; â€With the process of digitalisation, online threats are bringing new challenges.
â€The most common cyber threats that the rental industry may face are similar to the ones faced in other businesses, coming either from external attacks or insider threats.
â€However, due to the characteristics of the rental business, some vulnerabilities specific to rental companies can be identified.â€
The first step has been to establish a working group of IT specialists from rental companies to collect best practices in dealing with cybersecurity. A kick-off meeting is scheduled for early December and will focus on defining the topic, the scope of activity for the group, and a timeline.
