Scenario Similarities • Collective Risk Recognition • Where to go for information and assistance • Capability requirements at multiple levels • And across public and private spheres • Impacts and Interdependencies • Cyber is not just IT
Top Level Observations • Significance of an enabling body and structure • Requirement for an enabling instrumentality • Trust among participants first, foremost, and throughout • Trust Framework is paramount; absence is a show-stopper • The Discovery Event as catalyst for Trust Framework reinforcement and improvement • To WCX: Benefits of Sharing = Preaching to Choir • Not universally true • Challenge: Spreading the Good Word more broadly
Key Findings • Category 1: Key Enablers • Category 2: Triggers to Sharing • Category 3: Barriers to Sharing
Category 1: Key Enablers • Having a formal information sharing instrumentality • Ad hoc arrangements are insufficient • Trust-building facilitation to gird Trust Framework • Trust Framework • Comply with regulatory and stakeholder interests • Public sector: State Sunshine Law considerations; private sector: proprietary and compliance concerns • Leadership Buy-in • Sharing can be counter-intuitive • Business continuity messaging • Breach costs and liability exposures
Category 2: Triggers to Sharing • Type of Attack and Scope of Attack Classifications • Collective Risk appreciation not always triggered • Data mining, DDOS, social media vs. virus infection, low level DOS • Exceeding Capacity • Network capacity • Expertise • Need for Intelligence and Situational Awareness • Nexus to Above Factors: what don’t you know? what do you need? • Key question: WHERE to go for answers? • Government role / private sector role and nexus to “collective risk”
Category 3: Barriers to Sharing • State Sunshine Laws and Regulatory Provisions • Nexus to Trust Framework to resolve many issues • Competitive, Capitalist Marketplace • Default mindset to compete and protect brand and IP • Counter-intuitive concept to share vulnerabilities • Nexus to Trust Framework • Distrust of Government • Sharing data with regulators • Sharing data with distant Federal Government • Trust is local
Core Conclusions • Community Information Sharing Hub is Essential • Convergence Point: Education, Information Sharing, Trust Building, Training, Outreach • Public-Private Partnership model • Trust is Local • Trust must be built and sustained • Trust Framework • Trust Building activities • WCX Forums are key enablers, in addition to broader WCX activities
