ERA launches a new Working Group on Cybersecurity

ERA is very pleased to announce the creation of a new Working Group on Cybersecurity. 

With the process of digitalisation, the threads online are bringing about new challenges. Growth in demand for internet-based solutions as a result of the COVID-19 crisis is making cyber threats ever more important for businesses. 

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. 

However, due to the characteristics of the rental business, some vulnerabilities specific to rental companies can be identified. 

For that reason, the ERA Board has decided to create this new working group. 

The first step is to establish a working group of rental company IT specialists to  gather best practices in dealing with cybersecurity. 

A first meeting is scheduled in December and will focus on defining the topic, the scope of activity of the group and a timeline.
