Fostering Cyber Security through Enhanced Cyber-Intelligence Cooperation: Tools, Opportunities, and Inherent Limitations
Matteo E. Bonfanti
2016 - 2020
The Project aims to understand how and to what extent multi-stakeholders cooperation in cyber intelligence gathering and sharing can be enhanced in order to better prevent cyber-related menaces to national and European internal security. Starting from the review of the state of the practice of cyber intelligence in the European Union as well as in selected Member and Third States, the Project examines the main friction and enabling factors to enhanced cooperation in the gathering and sharing of actionable knowledge on cyber-threats. These are threats posed by individual actors or groups, and are the result of organised activities that jeopardise the availability, integrity and confidentiality of organisations’ held sensitive information.
The Project pays special attention to the study of the organisational, legal, and cultural factors that impede or promote the building of mutual trust between national and European stakeholders involved in the exchange of cyber-intelligence. Based on the collected knowledge, it provides a set of recommendations to be implemented at the organisational, policy, or legal/institutional level in order to foster this form of cooperation.
