Cybersecurity in 2024 has seen a shift toward open, collaborative intelligence sharing across industries. This shift is promising but not yet complete; significant gaps remain in intelligence sharing, especially following cyber incidents. Victim organizations are often hesitant to share attack details due to fears of reputational damage and stigmatization.

Cybersecurity teams are seeing a strong transition toward more open and collaborative intelligence sharing. This shift stems from the recognition that no one organization can fight the multitude of threats alone. But despite this progress, a critical gap remains in post-incident intelligence sharing.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month (CSAM). It’s a crucial time to equip ourselves with the knowledge and tools to navigate the digital landscape safely. With remote work, virtual learning, and the rapid adoption of new technologies, cyber threats are at an all-time high. As cybersecurity professionals, we have a unique opportunity to spread awareness and share our expertise to help others stay secure online.
