    The Evolution of Information Sharing in Cybersecurity

    Information sharing used to be about trusted exchanges with those who had data to trade. Today, that information comes from the multi-billion-dollar threat intelligence industry and the experts who hunt threat actors and cyber criminals. On this episode of Advancing Cyber, Cyber Threat Alliance President and CEO Michael Daniel and Professor and cyber threat intelligence expert Sergio Caltagirone explore how threat intelligence has matured into one of the fastest growing segments of our industry with customer expectations for timely and actionable data. They unpack how that reality contrasts with the post-9/11 paradigm of information sharing and the insatiable demand for information from government, critical infrastructure, and organizations around the world. Cristin, Michael, and Sergio wrestle with the reality that not every critical infrastructure owner or operator may need the same level of threat intelligence or priority treatment, particularly in times of crisis. The actual exchange of information, or giving information to those who can action it, requires a much smaller community of responders. Cristin, Michael, and Sergio also debate what a new executive order for information sharing and threat intelligence should include – regulation, threat intelligence marketplaces, tactical and strategic scoping requirements, clear articulations of legal and privacy obligations, and other important priorities - highlighting that information sharing is still a hard problem to solve, but there are options and solutions that can help.

    Who’s in Charge? Restoring Cloud Services in a Major Incident or Disaster

    Natural disasters have been hitting the United States hard in 2024, and programs designed to help ensure telecommunications resiliency have been working well in the background to keep people connected and facilitate response. In this episode of Advancing Cyber, host Cristin Flynn Goodwin, joined by telecommunications policy expert Kathryn Condello and telecommunications and cybersecurity veteran Marcus Sachs, addresses a critical problem: what happens when cloud services are taken offline at such a scale that customers and sectors compete to decide who gets restored first? As cloud infrastructure increasingly underpins vital sectors—finance, healthcare, utilities, and government—the question isn’t whether disruptions will happen but how devastating the impacts will be when they do.   The discussion dives into the structural and regulatory vulnerabilities in current cloud frameworks that sit at the intersection of cybersecurity and telecommunications, evaluating whether an approach like the telecom sector’s Telecommunications Service Priority (TSP) regime can be adapted for rapid cloud restoration in times of crisis. As data centers carry multiple tenants with differing priorities, the panel explores the impact of the lack of regulation on cloud services in times of crisis, in the US and internationally.   This episode challenges cybersecurity policy and tech leaders to reassess how regulation, prioritization, and strategic partnerships must evolve as we recognize the cloud’s role in national security, emergency response, and national resilience.
