How threat intelligence sharing can help deal with cybersecurity challenges

yep indeed it's a long way to go haha.. but let's have hope that Singapore's cyber security will be more robust.

i agree that there is much more to learn and i think with greater awareness, CxOs from different organisations will have to come together and talk about cyber security as it affects everybody. As businesses leverage on technologies and the cyber world, the increase sharing of threat intelligence will help the business community as a whole.

Platforms will be needed for such sharings to take place and perhaps we can see an increase in such sharing sessions sooner rather than later. As is, there are already some informal sharing sessions as we speak and slowly but surely I am sure there would be more organised ones as more organisations become more aware that they need to be more cyber resilient.

Banff Cyber Technologies has been sharing security information which is useful for many organisations.

think we really need more support from top mgmt.

In the ever-shifting landscape of cyberthreats and attacks, having access to timely information and intelligence is vital and can make a big difference in protecting organizations and firms against data breaches and security incidents.

 

Malicious actors are getting organized, growing smarter and becoming more sophisticated, which effectively makes traditional defense methods and tools significantly less effective in dealing with new threats constantly appearing on the horizon.

 

One solution to this seemingly unsolvable problem is the sharing of threat intelligence in order to raise awareness and sound the alarm about new attacks and data breaches as they happen. This way we can avoid major security incidents from recurring and prevent emerging threats from claiming more victims.

 

Threat intelligence sharing has risen in prominence, giving birth to initiatives such as the Cyber Threat Alliance, a conglomeration of security solution vendors and researchers that have joined forces to collectively share information and protect their customers. WeŸ??ve also seen government-led efforts, such as the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA), which is meant to ease the way for businesses to join the threat information sharing movement.

 

The evolution of cyberthreat intelligence sharing is culminating in the development of platforms and standards that help organizations gather, organize, share and identify sources of threat intelligence. Cyberthreat intelligence is also shortening the useful lives of attacks and is putting a heavier burden on attackers who want to stay in business.

 

ThereŸ??s still a long way to go, but the inroads made are already showing promising signs.
