Announcement
NIST requests comments on the second draft of Special Publication (SP) 800-150, Guide to Cyber Threat Information Sharing. This draft provides guidelines for establishing, participating in, and maintaining cyber threat information sharing relationships. The publication describes the benefits and challenges of sharing, the importance of building trust, the handling of sensitive information, and the automated exchange of cyber threat information. The goal of the publication is to provide guidelines that help improve cybersecurity operations and risk management activities through safe and effective information sharing practices. The guide is intended for computer security incident response teams (CSIRTs), system and network administrators, security staff, privacy officers, technical support staff, chief information security officers (CISOs), chief information officers (CIOs), computer security program managers, and other stakeholders in cyber threat information sharing activities.
Cyber threat information is any information that can help an organization identify, assess, monitor, and respond to cyber threats. Cyber threat information includes indicators of compromise; tactics, techniques, and procedures used by threat actors; suggested actions to detect, contain, or prevent attacks; and the findings from the analyses of incidents. Organizations that share cyber threat information can improve their own security postures as well as those of other organizations. This publication provides guidelines for establishing and participating in cyber threat information sharing relationships. This guidance helps organizations establish information sharing goals, identify cyber threat information sources, scope information sharing activities, develop rules that control the publication and distribution of threat information, engage with existing sharing communities, and make effective use of threat information in support of their overall cybersecurity practices.
