Industry giants Microsoft, Oracle, Intel and others have set up a 
computer security monitoring alliance designed to co-ordinate efforts 
to combat cybercrime. 
The Information Sharing and Analysis Centre (ISAC), which will be 
launched today, has been created in response to US president Bill 
Clinton's Presidential Decision Directive 63 on critical 
infrastructure protection. This encourages industry sectors to share 
information about security threats and vulnerabilities. 

The formation of ISAC has been co-ordinated by the US Information 
Technology Association of America. Other members include KPMG and 
Computer Associates. 

IT industry executives announced their intention to create the group 
at a meeting with President Clinton in February last year.
