The nature of cyberthreats aimed at both the U.S. government and private American companies calls for a dramatic shift in how the larger cybersecurity community shares information about hackers and collectively responds to attacks, said Neal Ziring, technical director for the NSAs Capabilities Directorate. <\/p>\n

While raising the awareness of what different hackers and foreign intelligence agencies are doing in cyberspace remains essential, Ziring said, its simply not enough based on the level of danger and activities occurring today. <\/p>\n

The next and necessary step is the development of a shared, public-private framework in the U.S. that can roll out software patches and other system updates at machine speed to individual researchers, industry and the government as soon as new intelligence become available, according to Ziring and Thomas Donahue, director of research at the Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center. They bothspoke Thursday at a cybersecurity conference in D.C. <\/p>\n

The big thing for me is that information sharing by itself is not enough. We need to start establishing the infrastructures, the standards, the practices for shared response, Ziring said. Todays actors can be really successful because they develop this tradecraft and they get to use it over and over and over again and they advertise the investment in this tradecraft as monetizing it against lots of targets. Thats what we need to take away from them. And the only way to do that is to have a response that can be shared amongst all of us. <\/p>\n

Zirings plan is to essentially democratize cyberthreat intelligence and make it actionable for a myriad of different U.S. partners. The market today leans on a model inwhichprivate companies acquire and sell proprietary research only to clients, keeping much of what they find accessible only to customers. <\/p>\n

While the Homeland Security Department has helped pioneer the development of several different cyberthreat information sharing programs, a response framework like the one described by Ziring does not exist today. <\/p>\n
