Towards Mature Federated Cyber Incident Management and Information Sharing Capabilities in NATO and NATO Nations

Abstract

For the past decade, cyber security teams around the world have recognized the growing importance of sharing cyber security information. Data regarding recently discovered vulnerabilities, cyber threats, and cyber incident information has been recognized as vital for cyber security teams to stay resilient in the face of the ever-changing threat landscape. This paper introduces federated cyber incident management and cyber information sharing requirements for NATO and Nations and highlights the Cyber Information and Incident Coordination System (CIICS), developed in the Multinational Cyber Defence Capability Development (MN CD2) Smart Defence program, designed specifically to address such requirements.
