Information-Sharing Policy and Cybersecurity

Security through obscurity is dead–government and industry increasingly realize that soliciting and sharing information about security vulnerabilities and hacks is a vital part of building a more secure cyber ecosystem. How and when these disclosures take place, as well as to whom they are made, have impacts on the market forces shaping cybersecurity and on the broader cyber risk landscape. And, the ways in which organizations, including government, respond to incidents and take lessons away shape their cyber future.
