The importance of collaboration and threat intelligence sharing

The key to defending against cyber threats is exchanging knowledge, insights, and data across different organizations. This section highlights why working together and sharing threat information are not just choices but essential elements in today’s cybersecurity landscape.

We’ll explore the advantages of sharing threat intelligence, such as improving your organization’s mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR) metrics. MTTD is the average time it takes for an organization to detect a cyber threat after it has occurred, while MTTR measures the average time required to respond to the detected cyber threat. Using examples and theoretical perspectives, we aim to show how collaboration can turn knowledge into a shield against cyber attackers. This opening sets the scene for understanding how shared intelligence serves as a tool to help cybersecurity experts predict, identify, and address...
