Information Access and Information Sharing - Where We Are and Where We Are Going

Explore the challenges of information access and the future of cybersecurity information sharing in this 48-minute Black Hat conference talk by Alejandro Mayorkas, Deputy Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Delve into DHS's vision for a future where cyber threat indicators are shared widely across public and private sectors at machine-speed, using immediately actionable formats for network defense. Examine the concept of cyber threat indicators as a public good rather than a market differentiator, and understand how this shift could lead to more effective, rapid information sharing that outpaces adversaries. Learn about the current limitations of discrete community sharing and the potential benefits of making cyber threat indicators a non-profit-driven, zero marginal cost resource for network defenders.
