In an article examining the benefits of federal legislation to govern private and public sector sharing of cyber threat information, OTI's Robyn Greene argued that proposed bills fall short.
"Unfortunately, the bills incentivize oversharing," especially from the private sector to government, said Robyn Greene, policy counsel of the New America Foundation's Open Technology Institute. "They don't protect PII (personally identifiable information) once it gets to other companies or the government."
That, she said, would allow, "too much of it to be used for investigations on things that have nothing to do with cybersecurity."
Greene also argued that there is already plenty of sharing within the private sector. "If anything, what needs to increase is more government sharing. Not to create free-for-all, but to find a way to get classified data into hands of technologists."
