The Risk of Misinformation and Disinformation in Cyber Threat Intelligence Communities
The ever-growing digital landscape presents organisations with a double-edged sword: vast amounts of data on cyber threats and the challenge of sifting through it all. Here’s where Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) comes in. By analysing attacker behaviour and uncovering early signs of attacks, CTI empowers organisations to proactively defend themselves. However, a significant hurdle exists: misinformation.
This misinformation comes in two forms: accidental mistakes (misinformation) and deliberate deception (disinformation). Both pose serious threats to CTI’s effectiveness, eroding trust in shared intelligence and weakening cybersecurity defences.
