Threat intelligence sharing is getting greater attention. Businesses are encouraged to share the new security threats they are encountering with their peers. This collaboration will better ensure the security of all companies that could be threatened by a similar attack. Working together to find a solution to ending and preventing these attacks can create a more beneficial information security platform for all involved.
The challenge of threat intelligence sharing is how to securely and effectively communicate this information with others. Those involved must also determine how timely should this information be shared with others and will allow it to still remain effective. The current information that has been shared is only what security threats are out there, but no solutions on how to stop these types of threats. Smaller corporations are the ones typically struggling to find solutions to these threats and would have a greater benefit from being assisted in finding the appropriate solution.
What is stopping this full platform of threat intelligence sharing? Is the competitive nature of business a part of this? Whatever the underlying cause is that inhibits sharing information that helps all involved contributes to the failure of national intelligence sharing. More thoughts on this topic are being discussed at the annual Black Hat conference that is occurring July 27 through August 1st. All interested will have to continue to monitor the input generated from the conference this year to see if a coordinated effort can be configured.
