We have spent 40 years protecting ourselves as individuals. We tried to trick and outsmart the cybercriminals, but when all our efforts failed, we thought of working with our peers to outnumber them.
Cybercriminals don’t remake themselves every time. They have limited resources and limited budgets. So they use playbooks to attack a lot of people. That is, most attacks are known to the public and not innovative. But despite hundreds of millions of dollars being poured into the industry, what we hear is breach after breach.
So we know team building and information sharing is important, so why aren’t security vendors doing it? It’s simple. The vendor doesn’t want to give it to you. They want to sell it to you.
Cyber Threat Intelligence: Made Cyber Crime Fight Easier
As the Internet continues to expand and connect more people and devices than ever before, the need to exchange cyber threat intelligence effectively becomes apparent. It is higher than ever.
In today’s connected world, a threat to one organization can quickly become a threat to many others, so companies and other organizations share information and work together to stay safe online. has become essential. One of the main benefits of sharing information about cyber threats is the ability to stay ahead of potential threats. By sharing information about known vulnerabilities and attacks, we can take proactive steps to protect ourselves and our systems. This prevents costly downtime and damage to our reputation.
Another important aspect is the ability to respond quickly to new threats. By sharing information about ongoing attacks, you can take action within minutes to protect yourself and your systems. This will help minimize the impact of an attack and prevent further damage.
CrowdSec Leads the CTI Space
One project that facilitates this important work is CrowdSec. An open-source collaborative CTI platform with detection and remediation capabilities.
Organizations can share and access real-time cyber threat intelligence and threat intelligence without revealing sensitive information about their networks and systems. This allows organizations to collaborate and share information without compromising their own security.
Overall, the importance of sharing information on cyber threats cannot be overemphasized. Bigger problems can only be solved together. What Waze does to traffic and Virustotal does binary analysis, CrowdSec does threat detection. The ability to share information quickly and effectively is essential to keep us safe from threats and to protect ourselves.
