Types  of  Cybersecurity  PPP  Interac5ons   Informa3on  sharing  is  fundamental  to  cybersecurity  related  PPPs.  The  provision  of   3mely  and  ac3onable  cyber-­‐threat  and  alert  informa3on  is  a  key  expecta3on  of   the  partnership  from  both  the  public  and  the  private  sector,  but  there  are  a   number  of  obstacles  to  sharing  informa3on  from  both  perspec3ves:   It  is  not  always  easy  to  immediately  dis3nguish  between  some  kind  of  technical   problem,  a  low-­‐level  adack  and  a  large-­‐scale  sustainable  adack.   It  some3mes  runs  counter  to  their  commercial  interests  to  report  vulnerabili3es,   par3cularly  if  understanding  and  rec3fying  a  problem  before  compe3tors  become   aware  of  it  could  offer  a  market  edge.   If  a  private  security  firm  shares  informa3on  with  the  government  about  an  adack,   that  informa3on  may  be  shared  with  its  compe3tors.   From  the  NCPF   Facilitate  informa3on  and  technology  sharing  within  the  sector;   Facilitate  informa3on  sharing  and  technology  exchange  with  other  sector  CSIRTs;     Page  §  33
