Trusted Third Party Broker for Collection and Private Sharing of Successful Computer Security Practices

摘要

A trusted third party broker collects information concerning successful computer security practices from multiple organizations, and privately shares collected information at an inter-organizational level. Information concerning empirically successful computer security practices is received from multiple source organizations. The information concerning empirically successful computer security practices received from the multiple source organizations is amalgamated and analyzed. Based on the analysis, specific information concerning empirically successful computer security practices is identified to share with specific target organizations. Once information to share with a target organization has been identified, any explicit and/or implicit source information that could identify the organization(s) from which the information originated is removed. The identified specific information concerning empirically successful computer security practices is then provided to the specific target organizations, with the source identifying information removed.
