McAfee and the Security and Defence Agenda (SDA) have revealed the findings from a report; Cyber-security: The Vexed Question of Global Rules that paints, a global snapshot of current thinking about the cyber-threat and the measures that should be taken to defend against them, and assesses the way ahead.
The SDA interviewed leading global security experts to ensure findings would offer usable recommendations and actions. Real-time sharing of global intelligence was a core recommendation of the report, citing that the building of trust between industry stakeholders by setting up bodies to share information and best practices, like the Common Assurance Maturity Model (CAMM) and the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA).
Phyllis Schneck, VP & Chief Technology Officer, Global Public Sector, McAfee said, "The core problem is that the cybercriminal has greater agility, given large funding streams and no legal boundaries to sharing information and can thus choreograph well orchestrated attacks into systems. Until we can pool our data and equip our people and machines with intelligence, we are playing chess with only half the pieces."
