+title: Watchdog finds ‘sufficient’ cyber threat sharing at agencies, but

+description: The Intelligence Community Inspector General's biennial update on
+  cybersecurity information sharing indicates progress in the last two years,
+  but also identifies persistent challenges. The report evaluates the
+  implementation of the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015, involving
+  input from various departments and the Office of the Director of National
+  Intelligence (ODNI). While policies, procedures, and guidelines for sharing
+  cyber threat indicators are deemed sufficient, issues such as reluctance to
+  share outside the federal collection, over-classification of information, and
+  resource constraints hinder effective information sharing. Departments like
+  Commerce prefer to share only within the federal collection, and private
+  companies hesitate due to potential legal and competitive concerns.
+  Over-classification and the effort required to declassify information delay
+  its use, and transferring information from classified to unclassified systems
+  poses difficulties. Additionally, resource constraints affect the review of
+  incoming information, and concerns about the quality of cyber information and
+  the functionality of tools like CISA's Automated Indicator Sharing capability
+  further complicate the sharing process.
+synopsis: >-
+  * **Progress in Cyber Threat Information Sharing:** The report acknowledges
+  improvements in cyber threat information sharing within the government over
+  the last two years.
+
+  * **Challenges in Sharing Outside Federal Collection:** Some departments, like Commerce, are reluctant to share outside the federal collection, and private companies are hesitant due to legal and competitive concerns.
+
+  * **Over-Classification and Declassification Issues:** Concerns about over-classification hinder information sharing, and the process of declassifying information is seen as a significant delay.
+
+  * **Resource Constraints:** Agencies face challenges due to a lack of personnel to review incoming information, affecting the effectiveness of information sharing.
