The Role of Threat Intelligence Sharing Platforms in Companies, Public Authorities, and Universities: Insights from an Exploratory Global Survey

Threat intelligence sharing offers a promising discipline to bolster knowledge and situational awareness amidst the rapid emergence of new cyber threats. Numerous platforms in the security solutions market enable effective and targeted sharing of threat intelligence among organizations. However, there is limited knowledge of the diffusion and use of threat intelligence platforms within companies, public authorities, and universities worldwide. To meet this challenge, we conducted an exploratory global survey of 118 security experts from companies, public authorities, and universities. Our findings show that threat intelligence sharing platforms are becoming more mature, evidenced by an increase in their prevalence and the utilization of their functionalities within the threat intelligence life cycle.
