An organization handles sensitive user information and is collaborating with an external intelligence group to share malicious URL indicators. Which approach is best for sharing data while addressing privacy requirements?
Postpone the exchange until incident reports are complete and then publish logs.
Focus distribution on malicious details instead of user records and include enough context for detection.
Provide URLs alone without relevant event details or references.
Transmit extensive logs to the external group with a non-disclosure agreement.
Sharing malicious indicators like URLs while omitting sensitive user data helps organizations support broader threat detection without violating privacy regulations. Including enough context for correlation—such as timestamps or detection type—improves the utility of shared IOCs. Over-sharing logs or delaying exchange can weaken timely collaboration, while providing context-free indicators limits defensive value.
