There are some indications that the private sector is actually sharing their cyber threat intelligence with each other.\u00a0However, sharing cyber threat intelligence between military\u00a0intelligence organizations and private businesses\u00a0is not as simple as one might think.<br\/><br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of the organizations that have found themselves on the front lines guarding against and responding to cyberattacks do not have people with security clearances on staff.\u00a0In addition, the act of sharing the cyber threat intelligence gathered by the military and intelligence organizations can put sources and methods of gathering that intelligence at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the private sector begins gathering their own intelligence, this places new demands on the limited number of skilled cyber resources that are currently available.\u00a0In addition, companies\u00a0become an attractive career choice for those who\u00a0are already in the services of our military, intelligence and other government organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just recently the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) <a href=\"https:\/\/news.clearancejobs.com\/2016\/07\/27\/dhs-looks-improve-cybersecurity-hiring-spot-offers\/\">announced it was taking steps to improve and shorten the hiring process<\/a>for cybersecurity resources. This will help DHS compete for these scarce resources. Pause for a moment and consider the length of time from when a cybersecurity resource is recruited by the military and when they take their first assignment.\u00a0That should be shortened to more advantageously compete with the private sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The big challenge of attracting and retaining cyber resources for the military just got more difficult.\u00a0That is impacting every aspect of military cyber intelligence and cybersecurity as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cyber intelligence has become a core
