Target Corp. is taking a centralized approach to security to help ensure that data breaches such as the one which inflicted serious financial and branding damage in late 2013 do not happen again. Target has opened a Cyber Fusion Center (CFC) that brings Target's key information security teams together. The center features a large open space designed to enable collaboration. Teams sit in an open format, arranged based on the logical flow of information. Launched in late 2014, the center houses security teams including a Cyber Threat Intelligence team that monitors and analyzes trends and patterns in cyberspace, a Cyber Security Incident Response team that watches systems and networks, and Security Testing Services that evaluates new and existing technology to identify areas of concern.
