Cybersecurity companies compete, but also give each other a helping hand by sharing threat information under the auspices of the non-profit Cyber Threat Alliance (CTA). Jason Cooper, CTA’s data sharing officer, helps coordinate the confidential exchange of attack details between the core cybersecurity defense players. With his front row seat, he hears their concern that protections for information sharing will be wiped out if the U.S. Congress does not reauthorize the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA Law) by September 30, 2025. Cooper discussed with the Cybersecurity Law Report how cybersecurity companies need each other, the behind-the-scenes successes of threat information sharing, CTA’s new policy on members discussing vulnerabilities in other members’ cyber tools, the looming expiration of the CISA Law and AI’s impact on threat sharing.
