Leveraging Network Effects: Information and Threat Intelligence Sharing for Cyber Capacity Building

CI-ISAC International, ECOWAS, Global Humanitarian ISAC, Shadowserver Foundation

As cybersecurity threats continue to grow in scale and complexity against a landscape of increased supply chain interdependencies and geopolitical tensions, the need for timely, trusted, and actionable information and intelligence sharing is ever more critical to enhancing our collective cyber resilience.
Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs) and similar mechanisms and networks, are key enablers in fostering a culture of shared responsibility and incident response collaboration that can empower nations and organizations to enhance their cyber defensive capabilities.
• What are the benefits and challenges of information sharing mechanisms? How can developing countries pursue practical, scalable, and financially viable models to establish sustainable and effective ISACs?
• What lessons can be drawn to inform cyber capacity building initiatives from specific case studies, such as the CI-ISAC International, the NetHope Global Humanitarian ISAC, the Shadowserver Foundation, and the West African ISAC?
