The next step in fighting cyber terror

I was interested to read that 5 major vendors are banding together to fight cyber terror by providing faster responses to threats. The vendors: Cisco, Juniper, Intel, IBM and Microsoft have established a non profit organization called: Industry Consortium for Advancement of Security on the Internet or ICASI.

Without knowing much about ICASI activities, I believe this is a step in the right direction since today's attacks target multiple products, OS and protocols creating a wider attack vector.

My only hope is that such initiative will provide some new weapons to fight tomorrow's attacks.
