Join a WARP

Before any business decision is made on joining a WARP you would normally conduct a cost/benefit analysis. As the costs associated with joining a WARP are likely to be low and in some cases it is free to join, then a detailed analysis is often not justified. Where a membership fee is levied to cover costs then many WARPs offer a free trial period.

Benefits will vary depending on the level of service each WARP offers but will normally include:

• Fast access to time-critical security information specifically tailored to your requirements - early warning
• Peer support from members of your community by sharing examples of good practice
• Collaboration opportunities, working together on solutions to new common problems
• A Trusted environment where you can share information without fear that it will be used against you. This same environment provides an independence of view without any specific commercial bias

It is often said that WARP membership offers a unique opportunity to gain access to information which is not available from anywhere else, namely your peers in other organisations who share common problems and common solutions.
