An analysis of cyber threat intelligence sharing identifies critical gaps in addressing data privacy, indicator quality, and participant incentives within current systems and standards. This work proposes a conceptual framework for assessing privacy leakage and outlines a comprehensive research agenda to foster more secure and actionable intelligence exchange.

Key insights

  • Information sharing paradigms are often designed without robust use models or comprehensive threat models, including insider threats.
  • Existing cyber threat intelligence standards implicitly expose Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and sensitive operational data, demonstrating tangible privacy leakage risks.
  • The quality and timeliness of shared indicators are critical for generating actionable intelligence but are frequently unaddressed by current mechanisms.
  • Strategic behaviors like "free-riding" by participants undermine the effectiveness and sustainability of collaborative defense efforts.
