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.
