IID-s New Internet Threat Intelligence Sharing Solution Included in Gartner Report

TACOMA, WA — (Marketwired) — 08/05/13 — today announced Gartner, Inc — the world-s leading information technology research and advisory company — has included IID-s new threat intelligence sharing solution in a recent report. The (1) report, by Gartner Research Director Anton Chuvakin and former Gartner Vice President Dan Blum addresses the need for threat intelligence sharing to secure the Internet, highlighting IID.

“Collaborative defense is becoming much-needed in information security, and broader security data sharing is at its core due to the proliferation of advanced threats,” noted Chuvakin and Blum in the report. “This document assesses the current state of data sharing and provides recommendations for enterprises and vendors.”

Recently, IID announced it is expanding its offerings to include security information sharing — a collective threat intelligence solution for aggregating, filtering and sharing actionable data from thousands of contributing sources. The solution is selectively available today and being leveraged by designated brands to automate the collection and dispersion of collective intelligence. By automating, and providing broadly sourced and analyzed threat intelligence, enterprises and governments can free valuable human resources while increasing speed and accuracy of cybersecurity efforts.

“We believe IID-s inclusion in this new information sharing report from Gartner further validates our approach to information sharing; moving from one-to-one manual sharing to large-scale structured collaboration,” said IID CEO Lars Harvey. “Only with collaboration and sharing, on a large scale, will we be able to secure the Internet. We find it refreshing to see that Gartner recognizes this need.”
