FBI cyber chief worries private sector not sharing enough cyber threat information
FBI cyber chief Brett Leatherman urged companies to share breach information with the bureau as it publishes a victim-focused cyber strategy.
FBI Cyber Division assistant director Brett Leatherman said at the Billington CyberSecurity Summit that private-sector hesitancy to engage the FBI stems from misconceptions, including a belief that shared incident data is passed to regulators. He warned that organizations breached by PRC nation-state actors risk more by handling intrusions alone, since FBI involvement speeds eradication. The bureau published a new cyber strategy Wednesday emphasizing victim aid, adopting a 'share until it hurts' posture on releasing threat intelligence.
